I'd like to comment on this sentence:
"The steepest face is 74 degrees."
This should say "the steepest face is a 74% slope".
45 degrees = 100% slope.
Since expert skiers can ski or snowboard chutes steeper than 45 degrees, it is more common to measure ski runs in degrees.
I measured the steepest pitch of the Wildflower downhill at 33 degrees earlier this year, taking the average of multiple measurements with a Life Link inclinometer.
I snowboarded off the summit of Mt Ogden to the east last Friday, and the steepest parts were 45 degrees (measured).
Cheers!
