Facing northwest at an average 14°, SunSet Glades gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,300 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
