Ski Pitch

How steep is that run, really?

A black diamond at one resort can be a blue at the next. Ski Pitch measures every run at 649 resorts across the US and Canada from detailed elevation data, and shows how steep it actually gets, in degrees, before you're standing at the top.

How it works

From trail map to true steepness

A resort's runs in Ski Pitch — 1. Every run at the resort

2. Pitch, crux and the full profile

A run highlighted on the resort trail map — 3. The run on the resort map

Pick a resort

Browse 649 resorts by region or state, or search by name. Each one opens with its runs, lifts, base elevation, vertical drop and the mix of greens, blues and blacks.

See how steep each run gets

Every run shows its pitch, the steepest 330 ft (100 m), and its crux, the steepest 100 ft (30 m). Sort and filter by steepness, rating or terrain, and spot the steepest and easiest run of each color.

Scout the line

Drag along the elevation profile or the trail map to read the slope at any point. Open the whole resort map to see where the run sits among the lifts and other runs.

What you get

Built from real terrain, not trail-map symbols

Measured, not guessed

Steepness comes from lidar elevation data (1 m where available) along each run's mapped line, with no ratings copied from a trail map.

Honest numbers

Every figure is an estimate, and where the elevation data is too coarse to be sure, the app says so instead of showing a number it can't stand behind.

Comparable everywhere

The same fixed 100 ft and 330 ft windows at every resort, so a 30° pitch in Vermont means the same as a 30° pitch in Utah.

Your units

Feet in the US, metres in Canada, or your choice; angles in degrees or as a grade.

Privacy

No sign-in, no ads, no tracking

All resort and run data is built into the app, so it works on the mountain without a signal. Saved runs and settings stay on your phone. Nothing leaves it unless you choose to send us a message or report a problem. See our Privacy Policy.
