Green Sierra-At-Tahoe, CA
Royal Trail drops 43 vertical feet over 540 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 43rd steepest of 50 named runs at Sierra-At-Tahoe. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 5°, Royal Trail gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sierra-At-Tahoe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Sierra-At-Tahoe. Its top sits at 7,320 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
