New trail map!

RIP full Cathedral Brook, Utsayantha, and Easy Out! (edit: they killed Easy Out on the map last year, it appears)

Lift 8 is now "Hawk Quad"

I like it (the style) better than the old map, but it is still not super clear.

I see they made it wide enough to add Highmount.

This is also happening today.

Are the kinked rails features or bugs?

That’s some first class implied optimism there.

Seriously though, why else would they make that map that wide?

In fact the could have made the map that wide and cropped it for now.

Bring back James Niehues or at least use Vista Map. That thing is hard to look at.

I'm not a fan of Vista maps. Especially when there are multiple peaks. This map looks hand painted, which is a plus to me. Flattening a big area onto 2D is not easy.

Rad Smith is the successor to Neihues. He hand painted the new Keystone trail map that adds the new terrain in Bergman Bowl.

There's actually a big mistake on the new map. It shows Algonquin and Area 51 as the same trail when in reality they are separate.

I'll use that as my excuse to stick with the old map
