How well Mushroom holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 25°, Mushroom gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 11,630 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.
