Could someone jot down what the IMBA guidelines are for trail building on slopes?
I'd like to know what the categories are - for instance a 3% slope you need to put in x features, for a 10% slope you need y.
Also do people prefer their slopes expressed in percents (such at a 50% slope is 45 degrees and a 100% slope is vertical) or in degrees?
Cheers! Julie
Confused as to what I am doing? I am classifying land based on slope for trail building. Darned if I can tell what degree or percent a slope is at. Slopes that seem gentle to me result in badly eroded trails. So the end result will be a map of an MTB area all coloured by slope type according to the IMBA guidelines...if I can get them Ta
