MAPPERS NOTES
I trust you will enjoy the beautiful forest on the mountain as much as I did while updating the map. Boulders on the map are now all at least 1m high and rock faces 1m and vertical. I have used the solid line vegetation boundary on the ski hills to show the dramatic change with the forest. The solid line also delineates the small copses more effectively.
The runability green reflects the early summer conditions. White forest is often spectacular. Light green will be runnable but at reduced speed. Middle green will be very slow. Impassable green is to be avoided.
There are dozens of hydro poles, small towers, and light standards on the hill. The only ones I have drawn on the map are the large towers for the chair lift.
Many of the small "water channels" will be dry but are they are still very distinct.
That's it! Have fun! Bill Anderson

M80, M85+, W75, W80, W85+ will be able to get a ride up to the Port a potties. This is approximately 400m from the start.
