Facing northwest at an average 12°, Upper Robinson's gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Highlands does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Aspen Highlands. Its top sits at 10,570 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.
