Deane's drops 559 vertical feet over 1,856 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 68% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 90th steepest of 104 named runs at Aspen Highlands. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Deane's gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 10,560 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
