Side Track drops 202 vertical feet over 836 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 97% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces northwest.

How well Side Track holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Side Track gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 6,970 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.
