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 under Runs). 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.

Runs
Every run Ski Santa Fe lists, to tick off as you ski them; the trail map above names them and turns the ones you've skied pink.

The resort’s own list, its trail map leading: every section it lists counts, traverses and roads too; carpets, learning areas, race courses and nordic tracks are left out, and parks are a list of their own.
