Black diamond Pebble Creek, ID
Side Shot drops 147 vertical feet over 402 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 21°, Side Shot gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 7,700 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
