It seems to take an excessively long time for the maps to download.

Yjey show avalanche areas and runout paths.

The files are huge, but nice to see the detail in them...

Yes, it takes awhile to download but only the first one!

Awesome job powderpuff and whoever else was involved. Those maps should open a lot of eyes and provide a margin of safety for the weekend warriors!

Once again, great job!

The boulder map actually has frisby shown on it as well.

yes Frisby is on same map, the terrain classification maps are to be used with the Avaluator. We started his project 2 winters ago. Signs in the cabins and at trailheads will be posted soon.
I would like to see a 2 sided laminated brochure with CAC`s #`s, web addy, the Avaluator and a specific map that could be distributed to riders.
This type of map will be produced for all popular riding areas in the prov.
