Calculating Skiing Speed and Slope Metrics

Formula

Skiing speed depends on slope steepness, snow conditions, technique, and equipment. Average speed is calculated from the total run distance divided by the time taken.

Slope angle is an important safety metric. Beginner slopes are typically 10-20 degrees, intermediate 20-30 degrees, and expert terrain 30-45 degrees or steeper.

Common use cases:

  • Tracking ski run performance
  • Slope difficulty assessment
  • Race time analysis
