Blue Aspen Mountain, CO
Lazy8 Gully drops 263 vertical feet over 715 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 94th steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 22°, Lazy8 Gully gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 8,600 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.
