that western slopes cover 27.1% (1.86 km
2
) of the area, the north-eastern slopes
20.3% (1.39 km
2
) and the eastern slopes 19.5% (1.34 km
2
).
Within this topographic context, the ski trails in the Bâlea area are especially
prone to the advanced and expert skiers which practice free-ride or free-style skiing.
Unfortunately, under these circumstances, the danger of producing snow avalanches
is imminent and therefore human victims, fatalities and wounded are registered.
The Sinaia ski area has gradually enlarged its surface, the number of trails and
their length: from 85.1 ha and 12 trails with a length of 15.1 km in 2001 ( Tigu,
2001
), to 16 trails measuring 23.01 km (Bogdan,
2008
) and even to 24 trails with a
total length of 22.3 km (according to INCDT,
2009
). The average declivity of this
ski area ranges between 25 and 30
◦
, which compels with the skier's preference (of
under 30
◦
), but neglects or overworks the beginners.
Within the Sinaia ski area there are 24 trails (Table
10.1
) of which 11 are for
expert skiers, which hold a percentage of 45.8% of the total, 6 are for advanced
skiers, which represent 25% of the total area and 7 are for beginner skiers, which
represent 29.1% of the total.
