Jim,

After all the work you did for me to demo you skis, I hate to be the person that bursts your bubble, but......your math is incorrect.

100 x 100 = 10000
? 25 x? 25? =? ? 625
Total? ? ? ? =? 10625

Sq. root of 10625 = 103.0

So your 115,000 vertical feet yields only 118,000 ski trail feet or 22 miles

Just go skiing with Lynn and enjoy the view(s).

Uh-oh, now this is getting sad.? ?

Mike, what is the calculation that gives you 118,00 ski trail feet from your numbers?

As you said, for every 25 feet of vertical, I get 103 feet of ski trail feet (not my 225)?
However,? 115,000 / 25 * 103 = 473,800 ski trail feet, and 90 ski trail miles.

And, Todd, that means I only lost 54% of my length. (whew  )

By the way, if I'm wrong again in my math, I plan to ban myself from the forum.? ?
And I can't wait for Lynn to read this, I can see her rolling her eyes already.
And laughing hysterically at guys in general.
