This is interesting to me since I haven't worried much about what the incline of slopes I've skied actually is.  I checked the steepest slope near me and it is Whoopdedoo at Sugar mountain.  I would have way over estimated it's steepness based on the eyeball (or pucker) factor.  In fact, I found a post from someone from Wash DC who guesstimated it at 60.  It is actually 33-35% according to someone with an incline meter placed on a ski pole. 

What I know is that you can't see the slope until your ski tips are starting to poke over the edge.  Being in the Southeast, with our warm days and cold nights, it is also often nice and glassy.  I don't go on it when it is icy but given my new skills from CSM, I was thinking about skiing it now to see how it compares to previous memory.
