How well Meadows holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Meadows gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 11,190 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.
