How Steep

[ALLSKIING]

Pretty cool app! I used it at K last week on North Star and it said 38 degrees although I don't know how accurate is really is.

There is nothing 38 degrees at killington..38 is very steep!

 

[deadheadskier]

I would think portions of lower Ovation would approach that angle

Check out the app.....easy enough to figure out

Tried to use it yesterday on Blockbuster, dunno how accurate it is either.

Could have been 38%. Easy to confuse the two.

Thread hijack:

Anyone riden/skied Pali at A-basin? How does it compare to, say, Avalanche at Cannon or upper Sugarloaf?

I would say the main face is a little steeper, but much much longer of a pitch. The trees and alleys on the side are quite a bit steeper I would guess.

3D maps color coded by steepness. Sorry no SnowBasin

Been posted before but still gives a cool visual for comparing a resort's stepness. Doesn't have every resort but it has a bunch.

There is always confusion about degrees and percent, even the commentators for world cup skiing get it wrong. The top of the Grizzly downhill run at Snowbasin is 38 degrees..and I don't know too many runs round these parts that compare...

I like the psychedelic colors man.

Far out.

Just skied the top of the Snowbasin downhill and while it was steep and intimidating, it skied/felt less steep than Ripcord at Mt. Snow, for what it's worth. But maybe that's because the downhill wasn't even close to the steepest thing we skied that day.
