Lol, wtf is that first map? That can't be real. Why do some of the number repeat?? So confused :-?

If you stare at it long enough, you'll see a sailboat.

Gotta laugh at this one.I had to see if that Woodbury map was current and it certainly is.While on that page I see that at "Woodbury East"(haha) they have a magic carpet lift to the "SUMMIT"!
On a second look,that map shows all those numbers for trails and lifts and nothing to match them too.What?

Here's one for you - MAGIC. Ok, certainly not the worst, but IMHO it does not do the mountain any justice, especially from a size perspective (makes it look like a small area) or a steepness perspective. This is meant as constructive criticism - from a marketing perspective they should redo the trail map to better represent the attributes of the terrain. Not a top priority at this time given cost and other priority items, but something that should be considered as the mountain continues to improve and marketing becomes a higher priority.
That's a good point. Magic's trail map does indeed make it look like a small, flat mountain. I wonder how the trail map affects Magic attracting new clientele.
That's not the lodge! That's the owners house with a concert pavilion on the front porch.

Love Mall Rats.
Bingo, Scotty! I was hoping someone would get the allusion.
I crack up everytime I remember that dialogue about Superman impregnating Lois Lane.

I love that and Clerks are definitely in my top favorite comedy movies of all time.
I wish Kevin Smith directs more movies but I understand he busy man with family and beautiful actress wife.

Don't think it's the worst but I think it's the most read. I laugh at all the people who read the Killington trail map in the base lodge or on the lifts. Most of them have no idea where they are, where they're going or how they got there.

I actually thought Squaw did a pretty good job with their trail map. Find a lift that services the type of terrain you're interested in (blue, black, etc). Go there. Go ski whatever you can find off that lift. Simple.

As for bad trail maps... Copper Mountain in Colorado. I can not make sense of their upper mountain lifts by looking at their trail map.
Thankfully a friend of mine works there, and other friends ski there regularly, so whenever I ski Copper, I'm skiing with somebody who knows the place cold. Tour guides rule.

I guess Killington tried to save money by not using green ink on the 2009 trail map?

I have a basic grasp on K's layout from my one trip per season, so I do use the map to my advantage on the lift to plan which lift to take next and hit most of the trails from one lift before moving on. Reading it in the lodge and trying to make a plan is pretty much worthless for a non-regular, though.
