Black diamond Aspen Mountain, CO
Pussyfoot drops 527 vertical feet over 2,142 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 730 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 114th steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 14°, Pussyfoot gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 57th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 11,010 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.
