Papasteeze Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) ask doug.. if he doesn't answer, I am changing my vote. Edited December 12, 2007 by Papasteeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) You might want to try Google Earth. You can find the vertical for any trail you want. Edited December 12, 2007 by Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrwilco Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 So they claim... according to my gps its 505. close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowboarddude Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 you people are so silly all you need to do is bring a tape measure up to the mt and measure every run you took in the night... well actualy you might need more then one tape measure that will give you the exact vertical you skied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackbiker Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 You might want to try Google Earth. You can find the vertical for any trail you want. Google Earth is really cool, but the verticals are not always that accurate due to how the program works. Topozone.com or terraserver.com would give you a more accurate vertical.

Justin Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 you people are so silly all you need to do is bring a tape measure up to the mt and measure every run you took in the night... well actualy you might need more then one tape measure that will give you the exact vertical you skied That would get you the actual distance you skied on the trail, not the vertical. Vert is only the y-axis of the mountain, in this case the slope being the hypotenuse if you formed a right triangle. If you measured the distance of the run, you would need to use trig to find the vertical stat. Besides, both statistics are found on the website anyway. Depending on what part of the peak you're on it will differ a few feet from each other. The best way to calculate vert is to count the number of times you rode each lift. Then multiply those numbers to the highest point of vert the lift the lift drops you off at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Almost Justin. You'd have to subtract the elevation of the bottom of the lift from the elevation at the summit. Remeber kids, a squared + b squared = c squared, where a and b are the legs (x and y) and c is the hypotenuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_rider Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I think math can go die even though without it we wouldn't have quadratic side cuts and no magne-traction and a lot of things in the winter sports industry but seriously this thread is everything I've spent this past week just waiting to end thanks to everyone for making me remember how terrible I'm doing in math. why not just ask mark I'm sure he's got all that some where.
