PisteScore
PisteScore rates pistes on a continuous S1 to S5 scale using terrain data rather than resort colour codes. A score means the same thing in every resort.
How a score is built
Gradient: how steep the piste is, and for how long.
Crux: the hardest section, and where it sits on the run.
Feel: how much room a skier has to manage speed and line.
Aspect: which way the slope faces, and what that does to the snow.
The score comes from terrain geometry only. It does not change because a run has a reputation.
What skiers say about a run is published alongside the score, kept separate, and allowed to disagree with it.
A PisteNet is a connected area a skier can ski around in and return to their base from. It is the unit PisteScore grades for a resort.
