Double black Aspen Highlands, CO
Golden Horn Woods drops 331 vertical feet over 860 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 530 feet below the top. That's steeper than 39% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 104 named runs at Aspen Highlands. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Golden Horn Woods gets about 48% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 9,360 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.
