- Its ice scale runs from “Slow / Hero Ice” to “Weaponized Boilerplate,” with “Gas Station ICEE” reserved for slush.
Field notes
The directory exposes state filters for ten states and sorting by vertical drop, ice index, trail count, or resort name. Its classification vocabulary includes “Firm Chatter Hardpack” and “Weaponized Boilerplate,” while a warning example specifies a 3° side bevel. The page describes its data pipeline as NOAA NWS freeze-thaw analysis combined with scraped ground truth, but the visible warning remains in a loading state.
