Ski Pitch

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.

PITCH AND CRUX Every run shows its pitch, the steepest 330 ft (100 m), and its crux, the steepest 100 ft (30 m), plus its average angle, length and drop. The same fixed windows at every resort make runs comparable anywhere.

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.

FIND YOUR RUNS Browse resorts by region or state, or search by name. Sort and filter runs by steepness, rating or terrain, and spot the steepest and easiest run of each color. Star the runs and resorts you want to come back to.

HONEST NUMBERS Steepness comes from lidar elevation data (1 m where available) along each run's mapped line, with no ratings copied from a trail map. Every figure is an estimate, and where the data is too coarse to be sure, the app says so.

WORKS OFFLINE All data is built into the app, so it works on the mountain without a signal. No sign-in, no ads, no tracking. Feet or metres, degrees or grade.

Ski Pitch is a planning aid, not a safety tool. Conditions such as ice, moguls and trees can make a run much harder than its angle suggests.
