How well Glade #1 holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 21°, Glade #1 gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 83rd shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 9,980 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.
