How steep is the ski slope of "diving" in Lutsen? I skied and I've seen people say it was a little less than 45 degrees, but I think a more accurate slope is 65-80 degrees. The station said he had a score of 90%. I wonder if this means 90/100 or 90/10.
Believe me, 40 to 45 degrees from its very, very steep. 80 degrees is steep crazy. Sorry if I disappoint you, but it seems that your friend is right: 90% = 42 ΒΊ
percent slope means lifting / run. So 100% means the quality goes down hill 100 feet vertically in every 100 feet horizontal. This corresponds to an angle of 45 degrees.
You can follow this formula:
ATAN (/ 100 percent slope) = Degrees
ATAN is (100% / 100) = 45
Percent .. Angle

You can not even stop on a slope 65-80. 80 is a cliff ... (I wonder if anyone has skied at 80, actually) from 50 to 55 degree slopes are considered extreme terrain. There is certainly no slopes to 50 degrees in Minnesota.
lol he is groomed and you can not married by 50
Here are some slopes of 50 degrees:
