Double black Pebble Creek, ID
Rattlesnake drops 540 vertical feet over 1,123 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 940 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 29°, Rattlesnake gets about 44% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 8,270 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.
