Skyline drops 76 vertical feet over 1,200 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 1,170 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 77th steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces north.

How well Skyline holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 4°, Skyline gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 3,580 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.
