Okay, my idea is simple.

To compile a google maps public list of all the Lift and Shuttle Served DH spots in the country/world.

I have 9 on the list so far, most in the NE as they're the ones i'm Familiar with.

What i ask: Post up the name and address of your DH spots, obviously they're resorts, and not your personal local trails.

why: so you can look at a big map and say... "i wanna go.... there!"



here is the link to what i have so far. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=104997510745313963552.000442be5bdc494aa9914

may need to log into google maps to view this, not sure.

The one you want is just northeast of Vernon BC. Look close you will see silver star road wandering out and up to the north east. End of the road = Ski silver star.

 

[jutny]

awesome Dave, Silver Star added.

What about the one in park city ut?

Yes, lift-served only, unless there's year round shuttle service... i dont know if places like that even exist.

Cool, I started this two years ago and put just north east resorts on it. Here is the latest revision with bike icons! hahah Add any of them listed to yours so we can have one large repository!

I took 3 months full time across country pulling a 40 foot toy hauler and only had enough time to hit 14 parks. and I was either on the road or on a run. it was awesome. I am getting location info on a park that my buddy owns in argentina (patagonia)

Do you know if there a way to make your/google maps modifiable by the public or at least a select group? I would help you out, but I dont know how to add a location to your map(I assume it is private to you're google and then savable in its current state)....???


Integrating software upgrades/changes made my multiple persons is a PITA..


Maybe a google group? A Wiki? Just sort of thinking out loud....
