How well Aspen Meadows holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 9°, Aspen Meadows gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th sunniest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 9,420 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.
