Fall Line drops 603 vertical feet over 2,025 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 118th steepest of 194 named runs at Vail. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 17°, Fall Line gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 9,780 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
