Facing northwest at an average 13°, Aspen gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sierra-At-Tahoe does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Sierra-At-Tahoe. Its top sits at 7,600 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.
