pokkis Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 You are mixing Fahrenheits and Celcisus degrees on 40 degree slope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Maybe it doesn't translate well, but that slope does not look near 40 degrees. 40 degrees is much steeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 40 gradient maybe? It is one of the most common mistakes people and resorts make... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffler Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Actually it is difficult to identify real angle of the slope looking at the photos and videos. For ex. well known Le Col in Zinal Switzerland is REALLY steep slope looks less frightening on photos or videos (check out all SWOARD team videos esp. raw footage). Same with Harakiri at Mayerhofen Austria. Finnish slopes are short but some of them are really steep. Pokkis can prove i hope :) Here some pics from different view: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
