True length of trails

Have you ever noticed when a ski area claims a trail to be "3 miles long" or "1 mile long", but its actually quite a bit shorter than that? We know that verticals are often rounded up, but share some examples of trails that are shorter than advertised. Use Google Earth to help you measure.

Hmmm, do they say PC is 2 3/4 or the longest run is 2 3/4? What if u go down Polecat to Catnap back to Polecat and then finally to Straycat?
A minute 30 seconds indicates a short court course, I'm told. I was at Heavenly Valley at a U.S. Ski Writers annual meeting and the downhill (World Cup race, I think) was shortened by almost a third because of lack of snow. Franz Klammer finished sixth and was really upset. "It's a sh*t downhill," he said.
I talked to him after the race and said something diplomatic, like it's the same course for everybody, so what the hell is the problem? (I guess that's why we in the media are loved and respected so much). He said a short downhill doesn't allow enough time for the less talented skiers to make mistakes so it's not a real test. Those Austrians don't like to lose..

For a typical novice trail with a grade of 14% (i.e. Polecat), the difference between the base (map scale) and the hypotenuse is 2%. In other words if you scaled Polecat on a map at 2.75 miles, it's actually 2.805.
For an intermediate trail with a grade of 25% it's 6.25%.
For an expert trail with a 33% grade it's 11%. There, now you don't have to do the Pythagorus.
longest actual trail length in the Midwest? Just curious if there's one over a mile actual
Hilda's hideaway or Cold spring at Boyne mtn?
Checked some previous seasons and they are the exact route, 2.41 & 2.55 miles.
Oh look below it reports the exact vertical of the lift 2041 per their literature.
