Facing northeast at an average 28°, Lady Luck gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 10,520 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.
