I ended up having to go to the resort and get a trail map directly =P If that's not convenient for you, perhaps I can find last year's map and mail it to you? Or even this year's, once I go there. -- monique |

I think it's pretty cool. Since the actual trail map is so huge, you really
can't get a readable version on the screen that gives you the full perspective, so you just find where you want to go and used the arrows and +/- keys to zoom in. Unfortunately, I can't verify that it doesn't take a rocket scientist, since I am a rocket scientist of sorts.... :-) - Steve "vbenares" wrote in message hlink.net...

Why not have a link to a color pdf that can be printed?

We went to Breck instead, since we couldn't figure out how large an area
was actually open at Keystone. vbenares wrote: Try checking out the mountain maps for Keystone: http://vail.instawatch.com/Key0405Wi...r_content.html Can any normal person actually use things like this? |

I can zoom in but cannot expand the map "window" - it occupies just a bit more than a quarter of my screen with the rest being white. And by the time I can read the names of the runs, there is no way to see where the run starts and/or where it ends - that's kind of a big reason to use a map. What's wrong with a nice static jpg - at least as an option? |
