Facing east at an average 17°, Upper Bobby's Run gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Waterville Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Waterville Valley. Its top sits at 3,450 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
