Blue Homewood, CA
Bonanza drops 701 vertical feet over 2,402 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,650 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 36th steepest of 60 named runs at Homewood. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 17°, Bonanza gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 7,780 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.
