How well Gent's Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 14°, Gent's Ridge gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 10,130 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.
