Ski Slope Gradient
Gradient % = rise/run × 100. Angle = arctan(gradient/100). Difficulty: green/blue/red/black.
Why This Sport Matters
Why: Slope gradient determines difficulty and speed. Olympic downhill uses steep pitches.
How: Enter vertical/horizontal, or angle, or gradient %. Output: difficulty, speed range, comparison to famous runs.
- ●Kitzbühel Streif: 85% gradient.
- ●European red can exceed NA black.
- ●Olympic downhill: 30–45% avg.

⛷️ Slope Classification
- • Green: Beginner, <25% gradient. North America: easiest.
- • Blue: Intermediate, 25–40%. European blue ≈ North American blue.
- • Red: Advanced, 40–70%. European red can be steeper than NA black.
- • Black: Expert, >40%. Olympic downhill: 30–45% average, pitches to 80%+.
- • Famous runs: Kitzbühel Streif, Wengen Lauberhorn, Val Gardena.
