We haven't really seen that this year. Maybe mother nature will throw us a bone for this last two months or so of prime ski season.

February 10 is equivalent to about the end of October in terms of sun angle, with a max of about 35 degrees. So would need a slope at least that steep to completely avoid the sun (compared to about 26 degrees at winter solstice and 49 degrees at the equinox).
