Trail Signage

Degree of Difficulty Signage

Circles, squares and diamonds: Understanding trail designations

These symbols represent a ski resort trail designation system that categorizes ski and snowboard slopes by difficulty. Resorts throughout North America (and much of the world) use green circles, blue squares and black diamonds to indicate difficulty. Nordic trail systems also often use these symbols. Each resort ranks it's own trails based on the relative difficulty of their specific area. Normally about 25 percent of the trails are designated green, 50 percent blue, and 25 percent black.

Freestyle Terrain Designations

Freestyle Terrain has four levels of progression and designation for size.  Start small and work your way up.  It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the terrain before attempting any of the procedures.
