Blue Aspen Mountain, CO
Tortilla Flats drops 82 vertical feet over 474 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 11% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 138th steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Tortilla Flats gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 10,180 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.
