Facing northwest at an average 9°, Bridle Chain gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 126th shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 3,450 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.
