Liftline drops 754 vertical feet over 2,984 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 1,340 feet below the top. That's steeper than 6% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 33 named runs at Pomerelle. It faces north.

How well Liftline holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Liftline gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,660 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.
