Why the difference and is there any way of comparing US and Euro

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

Never go off piste, eh?

So, the off-piste is counted in a resort's quoted 'km of piste' is it?

Dunno, but a typical US lift opens up a lot of terrain, which might
only have two marked routes down it.

FWIW I see some value in both descriptions, but like Edi I'm
frustrated by the lack of comparibility. Just means I have to ski them
all myself :-)

Yeah, that works.
