sing at a very high pitch
From "snow line", meaning the (imaginary) line on a mountain above which there is always snow. "Above the snow line" means at a high altitude.

\"soar\" suggests the flight of a bird - an eagle, for example, high in the mountains - but the phrase is used metaphorically of course.
