Shaping the snow

Shaping snow into a ski run

A ski-resort game ↗

The same route becomes less difficult after snow shaping, with its path and width held fixed.

Clearing trees was only the start. I gave the ski-run builder a shaped snow surface so it could soften the sideways tilt of a slope.

On a preserved mountain route, hard and extreme distance fell from about 75% to 48%. The path and width stayed fixed; some difficult sections remained.

Next: connecting the runs.
