Facing west at an average 15°, Hornsilver gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 11,460 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.
