Gore Mountain Conditions

It's a Vista map. Not based on a painting by James Neihues or Kevin Mastin. Vista is a digital approach to making a map of a ski resort. I don't like Vista maps.

what is vistamap

VistaMap is a comprehensive system for creating and maintaining trail maps , amusement facility maps and other leisure activity related guest wayfinding maps.

The only way to edit a vista map is through vista?

VistaMap struggles with resorts having many aspects like Gore. It doesn't have the right perspective on them, and you end up with multiple trails that appear to go up.

Vistamap, being Headquartered in Hurley NY, neighboring Woodstock... might explain some of the perspective problem

The only way to edit a vista map is through vista?

A Vista map is created using vector graphics. The image is generated by a computer.

To update a ski trail painting, anyone could paint over the old painting. Of course, usually the better idea is to get the artist to make the update when terrain is added. I think Mastin has been asked to make updates to Neihues trail maps a few times already.

I'm saying the way "Backwoods" looks on the new Gore map, it looks like the edit to the original was not done by Vista.

It's just a guess.

A lot of us want a Gondy from downtown North Creek to Ski Bowl base to Gore Base. It works pretty well in Breckenridge.

That would be pretty awesome and really help build up NC but I wonder how much use it would really get? I guess we'll see how much use this new Ski Bowl lodge ends up getting.

If ORDA uses some of their snowpower to open up The Bowl folks will participate as it’s easier to get to.
Ya could save a bit of $ and energy by not driving up the hill and spend the saved cash in NC.

Lol. North creek is no Breckenridge

Thank The Lord for that fact.

Interesting. Also, Gore is just a hard mountain to get perspective on just from the maps. Once you ski it a bit, the map makes a lot more sense. HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!!
