Blue Aspen Mountain, CO
Magnifico drops 511 vertical feet over 1,202 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 100% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 25°, Magnifico gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 8,830 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.
