As you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d expect from the acclaimed master of ski resort maps, the mountains in this map are gorgeously rendered, and Amtrak🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s routes are drawn as straight red lines — almost as if they were ski lifts across the country. I particularly like it 🔸澳洲开奖 a route line “disappears” behind a particularly tall mountain — it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s something that really sells the implied dimensionality of the map.

It is perhaps unfortunate that some routes have been omitted from the map — none of the Michigan Services make it, nor the City of New Orleans🔸澳洲幸运10预测, which is almost unforgivable. Perhaps it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s better to treat this as a work of art than a practical map?

On a personal note, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m just happy to say that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve now been published in the same magazine as James Niehues — my Amtrak as Subway Map was the very 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划in this series of alternate Amtrak maps appearing in The National🔸澳洲幸运10预测, way back in December 2016/January 2017.

If, like me, you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re a fan of James Niehues🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 work, you might want to check out this book about his career, The Man Behind the Maps🔸澳洲幸运10预测 (affiliate link).

A I thought it was pretty much compulsory for every ski resort in the world to have a James Niehues panoramic painting for their resort map, so it’s no surprise that I haven’t actually come across a transit map-styled one yet.

The closest I’ve seen are these maps by Frozen Underground, but they just link ski resorts together using arbitrary “routes” and the well-worn iconography of the Tube Map, so that’s not quite what you’re after.

If it’s something you want to attempt, then go ahead and be the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划– though I personally wonder about the usefulness of it. The big advantage of the painted panorama style that dominates this particular market is that it allows riders to visualise how the trails and the mountain interact with each other. Wide open slopes versus narrow cat track through dense trees; gentle bunny hill versus double-black diamond dropping down into a sheer bowl… the painted map makes this instantly understandable. It gives instant scale and dimension to the mountain, which any stylised diagram is going to find difficult.

Has anyone out there seen a diagrammatic ski resort map? I’d love to see it if you have!

Update: And of course – almost instantly – Craig Williams tells me that Kenneth Field made one for Breckenridge, Colorado back in 2009.
