Mixing Bowl drops 69 vertical feet over 311 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 85th steepest of 115 named runs at Palisades Tahoe. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 13°, Mixing Bowl gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Palisades Tahoe does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Palisades Tahoe. Its top sits at 6,710 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
