How well Skyline holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Skyline gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th sunniest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,280 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
