Sidehill

I noticed in you're trail ratings you list the degree of slope and sidehill on different trail catagories. I'm not trying to be a know it all, but I think you are confusing degrees and percent of slope. I seriously doubt any rig could climb a 30 degree slope, and 30 degree sidehill is out of the question. At one time the word on the street was that Red Cone was 50 degrees. It's actually 22 degrees and about 50 percent, measured. Extremely steep ski runs like Spiral Stairs and Palovachini (sp?) are about 32 degrees. I guess it really doesn't matter because you are only comparing different trails.
By the way, I only use this handle because I think it's funny. I remember a Granville King article where he joked about the club that liked to run sidehill. They kept dying off for some reason.
