Dynamite drops 344 vertical feet over 809 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces west.

How well Dynamite holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 26°, Dynamite gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 8,290 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
