Double black Aspen Mountain, CO
T5 drops 521 vertical feet over 941 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 34°, T5 gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 9,350 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.
