Black diamond Aspen Mountain, CO
Easy Chair drops 166 vertical feet over 510 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 98th steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 19°, Easy Chair gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 10,990 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.
