Black diamond Mt Baldy, CA
Skyline drops 915 vertical feet over 2,843 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 2,470 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 26 named runs at Mt Baldy. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 19°, Skyline gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 8,560 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.
