We prove and generalise a conjecture in [MPP4] about the asymptotics of
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{n!}} f^{\lambda/\mu}$
, where
$f^{\lambda/\mu}$
is the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shape
$\lambda/\mu$
which have stable limit shape under the
$1/\sqrt{n}$
scaling. The proof is based on the variational principle on the partition function of certain weighted lozenge tilings.
