Trail map
Season not stated · artist not stated
Seen as a trail map shows a mountain: from the base looking uphill, the ground tilted up (heights ×1.5); the arrow points north and the scale holds across the page. Runs and lifts as OpenStreetMap's contributors have mapped them, on the ground from USGS elevation data, with a stronger contour every 250 ft. The key counts the lines OpenStreetMap draws, not the resort's runs (its own list is on the run map).
Runs
Every run Big Moose lists, on its trail map and in a list side by side, to tick off as you ski them.
- Skied it: Regular
- Foil: at 17 runs
- Holo: at 33 runs
