Default Hectares vs. Km of Piste

My experience of Canada is that every possible variation from the lift
is marked and signposted as a seperate run. We even found one in
Whistler that was only 2m long (a drop off a cornice that then rejoined
the main route).


Is that the world's shortest ski run?

Crossposted to RSA, they probably know it well.

When they first open are hills here in the midwest they often have
only one run open, but they will claim six on a single run that is
probably only .5 miles long. Every pitch, grade, and turn earns a new
name.

But two meters may well be a record. That is short.
