What different types of slopes are there?

There is a different track for every level, but whether you will use it is another matter. Maybe you find that another slope (‘below your level’) is better or more comfortable to ski than another. But what different types of slopes are there and how can you recognize them?

COLORS AS INDICATION

To make the slopes recognizable for skiers (and snowboarders or cross-country skiers), they have decided to give the slopes a color as a difficulty level and a name and number as ‘signage’. This is of course a clever idea, because there is no confusion about which slope you are going to descend.
