Your runs

Pink is a run you’ve skied. Every run is named and ticked on the run map.

Open the run map

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 1,000 ft. The key counts the lines OpenStreetMap draws, not the resort's runs (its own list is on the run map). The resort's glades and bowls are drawn as areas: OpenStreetMap's own where it maps one, otherwise drawn by Aurora around OpenStreetMap's line, up to 60 m each side and halfway to the next run or lift, so their edges are approximate.

The resort’s published trail map is not yet collected.

Runs

Every run Heavenly lists, on its trail map and in a list side by side, to tick off as you ski them.
