Pebble Creek

Pebble Creek is an alpine ski area in the western United States, located in southeastern Idaho in the Portneuf Range in the Caribou National Forest. It is east of Pocatello in eastern Bannock County, four miles (6 km) east of Inkom. It is currently owned by Internet personality Shay Butler. Pebble Creek's runs are on the northwestern slope of Bonneville Peak (a.k.a. Mount Bonneville), whose summit is 9,271 feet (2, 826 m) above sea level, the highest elevation in the Portneuf Range. The lift-served summit is 8,560 feet (2, 609 m), with a vertical drop of 2,200 ft (671 m). Accessing the summit of Bonneville Peak by foot is allowed, gaining 711 vertical feet (216 m), giving a total vertical drop of 2,911 ft (887 m). The mountain is named after Benjamin Bonneville, a U.S. Army officer who explored the Intermountain West in the 1830s. The ski area opened 77 years ago in 1949 as Skyline, with two rope tows and a warming hut. A Poma lift was installed in 1958, and another in 1960.
