Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 18°, Further East gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Palisades Tahoe does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th shadiest named run at Palisades Tahoe. Its top sits at 6,590 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.
