Abstract: Let $Omega$ be an open set in $mathbb{R}^n$ with $C^1$-boundary and $Sigma$ be the skeleton of $Omega$, which consists of points where the distance function to $partialOmega$ is not differentiable. This paper characterizes the cut locus (ridge) $overlineSigma$, which is the closure of the skeleton, by introducing a generalized radius of curvature and its lower semicontinuous envelope. As an application we give a sufficient condition for vanishing of the Lebesgue measure of $overlineSigma$.
