Black diamond Aspen Highlands, CO
Sherwood Forest drops 339 vertical feet over 1,271 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 890 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 96th steepest of 104 named runs at Aspen Highlands. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 16°, Sherwood Forest gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 9,780 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.
