Skyline drops 233 vertical feet over 2,232 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 1,350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 68th steepest of 71 named runs at Boreal. It faces south.

How well Skyline holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing south at an average 6°, Skyline gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,610 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
