Double black Killington, VT
Skye Peak Liftline drops 391 vertical feet over 1,182 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 154 named runs at Killington. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 20°, Skye Peak Liftline gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 79th sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 2,810 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.
