Black diamond Pebble Creek, ID
South Bowl drops 1,523 vertical feet over 3,977 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 23°, South Bowl gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 8,430 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.
