Midway drops 130 vertical feet over 1,364 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 84th steepest of 104 named runs at Aspen Highlands. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 7°, Midway gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 10,120 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.
