How well Easy Street holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Easy Street gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Palisades Tahoe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Palisades Tahoe. Its top sits at 7,050 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.
