So if I have averaged 25% slopes (the low end of blue), then I have 100 feet of horizontal for every 25 feet of vertical.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle with a 25 vert by 100 hor base is (5+10) squared = 225 feet.

So my 115,000 feet of vertical gives me (approximately) 1,035,000 feet or 196 miles of skiing.

 ;D ;D ;D OK, so its a slow day at work and I'm looking forward to leaving for skiing soon.? ;D ;D ;D


I need Todd or an engineer to check these numbers, because 200 miles seems like a lot.? >:D :'(
