Hmmm.... the top 200 ft. of vertical are covered in 300 ft. horizontally. Someone do the math for me, I had to give my calculator back to the school. I think it is in the mid 30's, but I'm not positive. No where near 66 degrees, but still pretty darn steep.

arctan(200/300) ~= 33.7 degrees

Bump....

Anyone got pics of "Avalanche" at Ski Denton? I've searched high and low and can't find a video or even picture of this trail. I want to see the "66 degree" slope. Not saying it doesn't exist, but I want to see it.

I attached a terrain map if anyone knows how to do the math, if it's hard to see you can pull up the address of 5661 US Route6, Coudersport, PA

From "Pennsylvania Ski Run Degrees":

Avalanche @ Ski Denton: 500 vertical over 1002 length = 26.52*.
307 vertical over 500 length = 31.55*.

164 vertical over 200 length = 39.35*.

94 vertical over 100 length = 43.23*. And this is high resolution. This is hugging skier's left of the top part of the run.
