Thank God Peaks is getting rid of that hideous map from a couple years ago!!!

Very nice indeed but kind of like a fast food menu board , when does it look like what you get when you open the box ?
Still good for stoke regardless.

Well, since he does practically most maps, at least you are comparing one James Niehues to another James Niehues. Apples to apples. Makes almost everyone else look bad though.

I used to draw make believe ski areas during class in a lot of my high school and earlier years. Tree by tree. Fun times.

I just wish I had as much talent as he has in his pinky.

Honestly, I don't think it is an improvement from this older one.

The steepness doesn't look right on the main face. Looks like a gentle top half and a steep bottom half all the way across.

What I was thinking as well. How much vert does Hunter West have? Looks huge there.

I think the trails look more clearly defined on the new one.

It's funny, just like my leg stamina increases over the course of a ski season, so too does my ability to understand Scotty speak. Thanks for the early season translation. ;-)

I liked the old Hunter maps that hid Hunter West and helped keep people away from going there! ;-)
