+--- Day 3: Toboggan Trajectory ---
+With the toboggan login problems resolved, you set off toward the airport. While travel by toboggan might be easy, it's certainly not safe: there's very minimal steering and the area is covered in trees. You'll need to see which angles will take you near the fewest trees.
+
+Due to the local geology, trees in this area only grow on exact integer coordinates in a grid. You make a map (your puzzle input) of the open squares (.) and trees (#) you can see. For example:
+
+..##.......
+#...#...#..
+.#....#..#.
+..#.#...#.#
+.#...##..#.
+..#.##.....
+.#.#.#....#
+.#........#
+#.##...#...
+#...##....#
+.#..#...#.#
+These aren't the only trees, though; due to something you read about once involving arboreal genetics and biome stability, the same pattern repeats to the right many times:
+
+..##.........##.........##.........##.........##.........##.......  --->
+#...#...#..#...#...#..#...#...#..#...#...#..#...#...#..#...#...#..
+.#....#..#..#....#..#..#....#..#..#....#..#..#....#..#..#....#..#.
+..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#
+.#...##..#..#...##..#..#...##..#..#...##..#..#...##..#..#...##..#.
+..#.##.......#.##.......#.##.......#.##.......#.##.......#.##.....  --->
+.#.#.#....#.#.#.#....#.#.#.#....#.#.#.#....#.#.#.#....#.#.#.#....#

+.#..#...#.#.#..#...#.#.#..#...#.#.#..#...#.#.#..#...#.#.#..#...#.#  --->
+You start on the open square (.) in the top-left corner and need to reach the bottom (below the bottom-most row on your map).
+
+The toboggan can only follow a few specific slopes (you opted for a cheaper model that prefers rational numbers); start by counting all the trees you would encounter for the slope right 3, down 1:
+
+From your starting position at the top-left, check the position that is right 3 and down 1. Then, check the position that is right 3 and down 1 from there, and so on until you go past the bottom of the map.
+
+The locations you'd check in the above example are marked here with O where there was an open square and X where there was a tree:
+
+..##.........##.........##.........##.........##.........##.......  --->
+#..O#...#..#...#...#..#...#...#..#...#...#..#...#...#..#...#...#..

+..#.#...#O#..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#..#.#...#.#
+.#...##..#..X...##..#..#...##..#..#...##..#..#...##..#..#...##..#.
+..#.##.......#.X#.......#.##.......#.##.......#.##.......#.##.....  --->

+In this example, traversing the map using this slope would cause you to encounter 7 trees.
+
+Starting at the top-left corner of your map and following a slope of right 3 and down 1, how many trees would you encounter?
+
+Your puzzle answer was 234.
+
+--- Part Two ---
+Time to check the rest of the slopes - you need to minimize the probability of a sudden arboreal stop, after all.
+
+Determine the number of trees you would encounter if, for each of the following slopes, you start at the top-left corner and traverse the map all the way to the bottom:
+
+Right 1, down 1.
+Right 3, down 1. (This is the slope you already checked.)
+Right 5, down 1.
+Right 7, down 1.
+Right 1, down 2.
+In the above example, these slopes would find 2, 7, 3, 4, and 2 tree(s) respectively; multiplied together, these produce the answer 336.
+
+What do you get if you multiply together the number of trees encountered on each of the listed slopes?
+
