Vertical Demand

From FIS Freestyle wiki

Vertical Demand is the amount of vertical terrain that skiers/riders can be expected to ski over the course of a day (typically a six to seven hour period). This figure is calculated separately for each skill class. The average vertical demand has been increasing for all skill levels and now approximates the ranges listed in table below.
