Facing northwest at an average 26°, Jackpot gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 9,670 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.
