Blue Pebble Creek, ID
Face Shot drops 489 vertical feet over 1,244 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 23°, Face Shot gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 7,210 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
