Blue Pebble Creek, ID
The Cut drops 528 vertical feet over 1,399 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 85% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 22°, The Cut gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 7,520 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.
