Toads drops 354 vertical feet over 936 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 46 named runs at Pebble Creek. It faces northwest.

How well Toads holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 23°, Toads 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 7th shadiest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 7,820 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.
