Not that they were named or abundant, but none of the tree skiing is marked on this map.
Also, what's up with the Bar at the top of Tight Rope ?

That has been paid parking for a number of years. Figured vail would make the upper bridge one way, that has got to be one of the more dangerous intersections in the east. They also took the trees off the map. What the hell is the bar at the top of the old double?
Edit - new park on moonbeam would indicate they plan to run Kachina.

You grab your Moat Slow Chair Tripel there for your next triple ride up!
I wouldn’t mind alot of mountains removing some glades from their maps.
I don't disagree. I'll one up it. Take away all marked glade entrances too. Mark the boundaries of the ski area only and just let people ski wherever they want inbounds.
I know that makes the ski patrol shudder and lawyers salivate, but fuck it

Actually, from talking to some lawyers, the less the mountain do, the less responsibility they have.
So, leaving glades off the map would make their lawyers sleep easier.

No more James Niehues hand painted maps? A sad day indeed.
You didn't hear? Vail bought James Niehues too.
Forced him to start using a computer. More efficient and cheaper. You think they can afford paying James to hand paint maps for all their resorts?

Oh, I’m sure they can afford him, the real question is do they want to pay him………. Does not fit Vails model of creating a greater experience for the skier.You didn't hear? Vail bought James Niehues too.

As a laywer in NH, trust me, the state has insulated ski areas from liability to such a degree you have a better chance at getting struck by lightning 15 times in a a day than sucessfully suing a NH ski area for any negligence based claim. Their lawyers sleep very very well.

Well, if he's agreed to be bought, he's not being "forced" to do anything, is he?You didn't hear? Vail bought James Niehues too.
Clearly, they can "afford" what he asked. Maybe he didn't feel nearly as strongly about hand painting than the rest of you?
Have another cup of coffee and settle down
It was a joke abc.
My lord there is no statement sacred enough to be above your uncontrollable urge to be a contrarian and argue.

Clearly, you can't take what you dish out
That being the behavior of the moderator, little surprise to the super welcoming atmosphere of this site.
Pretty sure a lot of people do that already whether they are capable or not.
They do. But I'm more talking about removing marked glades completely. Off the map and no official names / entrances. If you know, you know

Seems dangerous to remove all glades from the map, I like to have some guidance about which areas are appropriate for tree skiing, are regularly cleared of debris, are patrolled, etc.

Better marketing: “we are 100% open” (because the woods would be closed otherwise!)
