Facing northeast at an average 16°, Hayden gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 11,250 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
