Blue Turner Mountain, MT
Aspen Alley drops 454 vertical feet over 1,160 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 550 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 23 named runs at Turner Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 23°, Aspen Alley gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Turner Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Turner Mountain. Its top sits at 4,730 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
