Question

When you go to a ski park, maps are provided that not only show where the ski trails are located but also indicate difficulty levels for each trail. This helps you determine how difficult it is to ski or snowboard down each of the trail.

Ski resorts use a color-shape rating system to indicate the slope and difficulty levels for its trails. It is important to pay attention to these levels and plan ahead. You do not want to accidentally find yourself on a trail that is too challenging for you.

Trails marked with green circles are considered the easiest. These trails are usually wide and are not considered steep. Trails marked with blue squares indicate intermediate difficulty. These slopes are considered somewhat steep and are typically the most popular. Finally, trails marked with black diamonds are considered to be the steepest and most difficult.
