Reuter's 6th drops 479 vertical feet over 1,892 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 1,150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 100% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 115 named runs at Palisades Tahoe. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Reuter's 6th gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Palisades Tahoe does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Palisades Tahoe. Its top sits at 8,040 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.
