double black diamond
Hardest ski terrain
Double black diamond is a ski trail rating indicating the most difficult terrain at a resort—steeper, icier, or more obstacle-filled than single black diamond runs.
The designation warns skiers and snowboarders to expect expert-level challenges: I'm not ready for the double black diamonds yet.
The term extends to other activities using similar difficulty ratings.
