Map could use a bit of work, perhaps they should look to Stowe, Sugarbush, or Jay Peak for an example of how it should be done.

I dig the interactive trail map especially with regards to current snowmaking. Good stuff.

Have you taken a look at Sugarbush's map. I think it's a lot cleaner, more informative and useful.

I agree and like DD said some trails are missing from K's current interactive one.

It is good information if you could rely on it being accurate. Today's pdf snow report also has them making snow on Header and Upper and middle Superstar.

The new VP Branding, Dave Rathbun, said at the homeowners' shindig before T-Day that they were doing a whole lot more techie stuff for marketing this year, including podcasts, etc.

Its a decent start. First, they need to get rid of those stupid snowflakes flying by. They should also give you the option of viewing non-interactive map.
