Double black Pebble Creek, ID
The Rock drops 228 vertical feet over 390 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 36°, The Rock gets about 38% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 8,500 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.
