Double black Aspen Highlands, CO
Lucky Find drops 1,403 vertical feet over 2,966 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 44° about 1,880 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 104 named runs at Aspen Highlands. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 29°, Lucky Find gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 11,540 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
