Backcountry Difficulty Property Dataset (BDPD)

1. Introduction

The Backcountry Difficulty Property Dataset (BDPD) is a training dataset, that powers modeling difficulty degrees of backcountry ski routes. The difficulty scale of the Swiss Alpine Club is based on four major criteria: Slope angle, exposure to fall down, terrain form and space conditions. The dataset contains the response variable (difficulty degree) and a list of covariates for approximately 1700 backcountry ski tours of Switzerland.
