The Canyons brand has come to an end.

So does that count as UT loosing a resort?

Yes. Here are the cabs...gotta say I like the new logo:

I always thought that the old one was pretty lame:

Holy sh!t that trail map though. I don't know how James Niehues does it.

Wow. That is intense.

I can only imagine what folks will look like trying to read the trail maps this season.....

Funny stuff. Still better than those old Killington topo maps from the 80s.

 

[thetrailboss]

Just insane.....

Very cool map. Although it will probably still feel like 2 separate ski areas due to the transfer lift. I'm curious if they'll try to develop the terrain to the north of the the Quicksilver lift on the canyons side.

What are you talking about? Those old Killington maps were classic. They could do double duty as a blanket during the 20 minute K-double ride.

Pretty funny though that they put 480 snow guns on that. Like that is a big number of those to us Easterners!!

Trailboss, how busy do think the mountain is going to get now? Think 30k visitors on a busy Saturday is possible?

I don't think the map reading thing will be as much of an issue as many think it will be, as a good number of the lifts out there pre-merger had trail maps on the safety bars (a concept that makes plenty of sense that I see out West a bunch but don't recall hardly ever seeing in the East)

I recall Bromley having something on the safety bar like a roller. Don't remember if it was a trail map or just advertisement. I think they've since been removed.

I saw those out west and thought they made a LOT of sense, not sure why it isn't a thing, probably too expensive.

It's probably a pain in the ass and nearly cost prohibitive to replace them on all the chairs on all the lifts when the resort upgrades. Case and point, last season when I skied snowmass, they still had the Burlingame double listed on the safety bar trail map, even though that lift was removed over the summer.
