Blue Palisades Tahoe, CA
Bullet drops 1,473 vertical feet over 6,486 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 5,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 57th steepest of 115 named runs at Palisades Tahoe. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Bullet gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Palisades Tahoe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Palisades Tahoe. Its top sits at 8,630 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
