1 & 2 Leaf Bottom Half drops 198 vertical feet over 1,199 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 630 feet below the top. That's steeper than 13% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 137th steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, 1 & 2 Leaf Bottom Half gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 77th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 10,930 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.
