Facing northeast at an average 9°, Orion's Beltway gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st shadiest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,910 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.
