Beeline drops 87 vertical feet over 553 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 460 feet below the top. That's steeper than 84% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 140th steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces west.

How well Beeline holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 9°, Beeline gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 7,560 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.
