How well Robinson's Run holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Robinson's Run gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th 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.
