How well Bellissimo holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Bellissimo gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 92nd shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 10,800 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
