I think the last shot has all the right elements for slope steepness determination.
Skier looks bulkier than you. You must have gotten trimmer since then. Or maybe it was a very cold day! Total guess on slope is vicinity of Dictator Chutes at Big Sky, due to the lack of comparable elevation in the near background.

April 14th, the headwall where the wcup women’s gs starts. Though there was even more added to the top for the race.

April 13th, on Preston’s pitch, the final pitch of the trail. Don’t know this guy, saw him all day. The next day I saw him he changed his hat.

Wasn't officially part of Breck yet. This is on Peak 7.

Whale’s Tail has that view, but I don’t know Breck very well. I almost got blown off Whale’s Tail once……:eek:
