Black diamond Aspen Highlands, CO
Spring Time drops 245 vertical feet over 691 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 620 feet below the top. That's steeper than 50% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 64th steepest of 104 named runs at Aspen Highlands. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 21°, Spring Time gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 10,710 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
