Black diamond Palisades Tahoe, CA
Siberia Bowl drops 773 vertical feet over 3,318 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 115 named runs at Palisades Tahoe. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Siberia Bowl gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Palisades Tahoe does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Palisades Tahoe. Its top sits at 8,680 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.
