Experimental Terrain Estimate & Methodology Limitations

TrueSlope scores are algorithmic estimates derived from OpenStreetMap downhill piste geometries and elevation profiles. Trail characteristics rely on automated heuristics:

  • Grooming & Surface: Trails missing explicit OpenStreetMap grooming tags default to groomed status. Real-world daily grooming and ice conditions vary significantly.
  • Difficulty Ratings: Missing or unrecognized resort difficulty tags default to intermediate (Blue).
  • Corridor Width: Glade tags (gladed=yes) are used as an automated proxy for narrow tree corridors.
  • Safety Notice: These scores provide comparative estimates, not audited safety guarantees. Always check official on-mountain trail boards, ski patrol advisories, and current snow conditions before dropping in.
