Slope Angle Overlay
Using the web app? Slope Angle Overlay on the Web App
The slope angle overlay colors the map by how steep the terrain is. If you're in an area prone to avalanches, it's an easy way to see which slopes to avoid. If you travel off-trail, it helps you pick a smoother line and steer clear of very steep climbs.
