Blue Aspen Mountain, CO
Buckhorn drops 342 vertical feet over 1,652 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 68% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 118th steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 12°, Buckhorn gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 11,220 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.
