Facing northeast at an average 0°, Ozone gets about 41% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 12,150 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.
