Facing northwest at an average 8°, Champs Elysees gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Palisades Tahoe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Palisades Tahoe. Its top sits at 7,520 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
