Blue Aspen Mountain, CO
Upper Roch Run drops 214 vertical feet over 1,324 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 132nd steepest of 139 named runs at Aspen Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 9°, Upper Roch Run gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 100th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 10,120 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
