How well Glade #3 holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 24°, Glade #3 gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 96th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 9,760 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.
