What determines ski slope difficulty?

The steepness of ski trails is usually measured by grade (as a percentage) instead of degree angle. In general, beginner slopes (green circle) are between 6% and 25%. Intermediate slopes (blue square) are between 25% and 40%. Difficult slopes (black diamond) are 40% and up.

What is the easiest ski run?

Green Circle: The easiest; usually wide, open trails with a grade from 0-25%. (A 100% grade would be a 45-degree angle.) Blue Square: Intermediate; generally the most prevalent rating across a mountain, with a grade between 25–40% and often groomed.

What should you not wear skiing?
