How this was measured
Skiboard measured the 24 pistes OpenStreetMap maps in Jakobshorn (28.7 km) on swisstopo’s terrain model: the steepest 100 m of each, against every Swiss piste of the same colour.
Measured along the line OpenStreetMap draws, on terrain without snow: snow and grooming soften steps, and a piste can run beside its line. A gradient of 100 % is 45°. Colours as OpenStreetMap maps them, which can differ from the lift company’s piste map: check it before you go.

A skier day or first entry is one person on the lifts for one day, whatever the ticket.

Searches and social-media posts follow the news more than skiers, so they are left out.
