RIP Paper Trail Maps

I don't buy souvenirs. Ski maps are my keepsake. These are becoming harder and harder to find these days. RIP.

I probably have around 40ish maps. Anyone else have a nice collection? I really have no idea what to do with all these. Maybe wallpaper at an eventual ski cabin??

I think a lot of places still have but def has slid off in recent years.

If it's places you've been go ham. Do the whole wall. Yolo!

Same for concert ticket stubs. They almost don't exist now

I have a bag full of them from much younger years. I also collected my old paper lift tickets, which also seem to be a thing of the past

Same here, I have my tickets from every resort I have ever skied. The idd map, but that was never my thing. Wallpapering with maos sounds pretty awesome to me.

If you’re interested this is the guy who makes most of the ski resort map, at least in the states.

He also has a really cool book with all of his maps that he made. Very fun to look through

I collect RFID cards from the resorts i've been to. They always have good graphics, and are becomming more more common. I sorta collect paper tickets but they just don't look as good and the get lost to.

Have you done anything with your tickets? I have a bunch from all over, working in the ticket department people would give me their old ones. Was wanting to maybe make a collage or something but not sure
