How well G-0 holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 0°, G-0 gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 11,440 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.
