Rimeline drops 239 vertical feet over 1,118 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 59th steepest of 112 named runs at Stratton. It faces northeast.

How well Rimeline holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Rimeline gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 56th shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,010 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.
