How well Last Dollar holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 28°, Last Dollar gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 9,930 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
