Facing east at an average 30°, Dihedral Chute gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 83rd shadiest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 12,220 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.
