Double black (off-piste) Granite Peak, WI
Aspen drops 176 vertical feet over 1,293 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 170 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 59 named runs at Granite Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Aspen gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,440 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.
