Green Palisades Tahoe, CA
Bailey's drops 355 vertical feet over 4,763 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 1,240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 106th steepest of 115 named runs at Palisades Tahoe. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Bailey's gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Palisades Tahoe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Palisades Tahoe. Its top sits at 8,480 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.
