Black diamond Pebble Creek, ID
The Drop drops 365 vertical feet over 877 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 25°, The Drop gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 7,100 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.
