Skimap® Research and Design
🧭 Discovery
“I start by gathering every available source—satellite imagery, terrain data, resort-provided maps, and user-submitted photos.”
🛠️ Design
“I draw the mountain as it truly is—no warping, no exaggeration. Every trail, lift, and contour is placed with precision.”
📐 Refinement
“I layer in topo lines, amenities, avalanche gates, and even proposed expansions—backed by actual site plans when available.”
🧠 Independence
“Maps are built without resort influence, ensuring unbiased accuracy and consistency across all resorts.”
