vertical feet and elevation of each resort would be cool.  maybe the different slope of each resort as well.  local hot spots to eat after a long day of shredding like t's burritos, taco jalisco's, 5050 brewery.

I know it might sound like a good idea, but do not post secret powder stashes and such.

How bout putting up random facts about the resort? I always find shit like that funny.

how about you put place NOT to go.... you can be the judge of those, ie. secret stashes and such.

^^depends on what places want to charge for them
they could be given away as freebies like the paper ones or put in stores, depends on what the retailer wants to do,

altho this may be controversial, i've always wanted a map of the "hidden area" like how to get there, how to get out, sick lines etc... kinda like the book squallywood.

BUT i dont want a million gaps poaching the good stuff, so like a detail map of not just trails, but rather the whole mountain would be sweet

Good chairlifts to smoke on. (You could label this section as "Low Wind Charlifts, for those chilly days!")
