Facing northeast at an average 4°, Bucksaw X-Cut gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 2,950 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.
