Bears verticle ?

[Saurus]

Im wondering what bears vertical is so i can calculate it in the stats. Anyone know for the trails?

[Justin]

Max is 510'.

Max is 510'.

 

So they claim...

[snowboarddude]

maybe f chair but i don't think the skiers right is that high

[Papasteeze]

ask doug..

 

 

if he doesn't answer, I am changing my vote.

You might want to try Google Earth. You can find the vertical for any trail you want.

according to my gps its 505. close enough.

What GPS?

[JibHonk]

global positioning satelite...i think

I know, but what type?

[snowboarddude]

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

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.

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.

[Rowsdower]

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.

Dang, B+ work on my part.

what math are you in?

[toast21602]

math? i dont even know what that is anymore. last time i took a math was 4 years ago, sr year of hs.

[n0xidee]

One word - Altimeter

[Rowsdower]

...trig in 11th grade... was I the only one?

[Rowsdower]

I've never heard math and gnarly in the same sentence before.

[Rowsdower]

Math can suck my d-block. I'm failing calculus and it sucks... a lot.

[snowboarddude]

we went from talking about boarding and vertical and now we are talking about math and our grades

 

what happened there?

[paolo]

^ U started it.

[snowboarddude]

^ U started it.

 

lets not point fingers

[GNU_rider]

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.
