P-Chutes #2 drops 271 vertical feet over 494 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 43° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 104 named runs at Aspen Highlands. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 34°, P-Chutes #2 gets about 36% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 9,030 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.
