Sustained 50 degrees in a couple sections, 40s other than that. Thanks for all the compliments.
 
UTskier, im sorry man. i have skied 50 degrees and that is definately steeper than that
 
hahahahah step back dude. pumphouse and osme of the face chutes measured at 50. i'd like to see u do that on sheer ice
 
I think people tend to over-rate slope angles. True 50 is really steep. Any number you've heard at a resort is suspect, they love to overstate everything. I just kind of gauge it by how far I drop every time I make a jump turn, but I've skied with people that use slope inclinometers in the past to get a feel for what 50, 55 feels like. It felt about the same as some other 50 degrees I've skied, and not as steep as a 55 that I've skied.
 
i still have yet to get the opportunity to ski anything that steep, so i am incredibly jealous.
