Worst Trail Maps

[BenedictGomez]

At some point accuracy starts to interfere with usability.

LOL. Well said.

The worst parts are the trail connectors. With virtually zero point of reference, it's very easy to miss unless you're familiar with the mountain.

Yep.

Hard to figure which way is up in a lot of spots on this menagerie

Heavenly is insanely confusing at first. Trail map does not help much.

Guilty. Now my 8 year old does it.

I started with hand drawn maps, then started using MS Paint with hand drawn contour lines, then "graduated" to copying topo maps into Paint. Here is an great example of boredom, Black Mountain of Maine at full "Les Otten" build out. Haven't done any in a while

This is cool, I like the style. I love looking at these things.

I remember the first time I went to Magic, the map incorrectly depicted a trail as ending higher up another trail than it actually did, so I ended up having to ski a groomer to the bottom instead of Goniff

Can't believe Hunter's current map isn't on here. It makes the upper portion of the mountain where the majority of the skiing is look tiny, stretches out the lower section to absurd proportions, and makes it hard to tell how any of the West Side works. (Ex: Does Colonel's Alt connect to Clairs? Are Westway and Clairs one big wide run? Their previous map is more legible, more accurate to mountain layout, and better in every way I can see aside from needing the parks labeled a little better.

A prior disaster was the Sno/Montage trail map. 2011 map, 2007 map. Good luck understanding either. You might think you can get to the top of the Phoebe Snow lift from the base area/Switch/Spike, for example. You can't. (at least not without a significant hike).

I like the little shark fin at the top of lift 2. Hard to see how people can access the upper mountain lifts without a hike.

Wow. I am speechless. Looks like amateur hour.
