Why the difference and is there any way of comparing US and Euro
resorts on size ?

Divide the area by the average piste width and you're done.


Lies, damn lies & ski resort statistics !

All the best,

Actually, take a wild guess about the average piste width, lets say 50
meters. Then the area in hectares (remember those US guys will probably
use
acres) divided with 20 is the length of skiing slopes in km.
Best thing you can do actually without more data.

Kind regards,

Well if you are a 6 Sigma Black Belt you will be used to fiddling statistics
and drawing dodgy conclusions !

My dodgy generalisation is that the US resorts probably have shorter runs,
lower vertical drops but at least do have more of the white stuff which is
always useful if you want to slide down it.

All the best,
