Fenceline drops 545 vertical feet over 3,544 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 3,050 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 33 named runs at Pomerelle. It faces north.

How well Fenceline holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Fenceline gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,270 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.
