the term "vertical drop" is a word used by ski resorts to describe how "tall" a ski resort is. If the top of a ski resort is 13,000 feet and the base area of the resort is 10,000 feet, than the vertical drop of the resort is 3,000 feet.
aka, the vertical feet between the top elevation and the base elevation.
