Hi

I was wondering if any had, or knew where i could find a Step by step ski run. Its kinda like a Google maps for the mountain. We have them in Europe but i can't seem to find any for any Canadian or north america resorts.

Here's an example of a European one.

Location: Bad Hofgastein, Austria
Ability: Intermediate
Time to Complete: Full Day



Step 1 - Begin by taking the free bus to Dorfgastein and then catch the Fulseck gondola to the very top
Step 2 - Follow the signs for Grossarl and take piste Red 8
Step 3 - Get on the Kreuzkogel 6-man chair lift
Step 4 - Keep right and take Blue 3
Step 5 - Keep right and take Red 10
Step 6 - This turns into Blue 3a
Step 7 - Turn right onto Red 4a
Step 8 - Get on the Panoramabahn Gondola to the top
Step 9 - Once at the top, head down about 100m to the right - Stop at the Panorama Stube for a hot chocolate. The slide to the toilets is not to be missed
Step 10 - Take Blue 1
Step 11 - Get on the Kreuzkogel 6-man chair lift again
Step 12 - At top of the lift take piste Blue D7 towards Dorfgastein
Step 13 - Where the piste forks take the right turn down Red D4
Step 14 - Get on the Gipfel Express Fulseck chair lift. This chair lift has heated seats
Step 15 - At the top turn left and cross the top of the black run, taking Red D2 to the Grabnerhutte
Step 16 - top at the Grabnerhutte for a traditional Austrian dish "Tyroler Grostl. Grabnerhutte is a traditional mountain restaurant off the beaten track
Step 17 - Continue down Red D2
Step 18 - Merge onto Red D1
Step 19 - Take Red D1a
Step 20 - Get on the Wengerhochalmbahn chair lift
Step 21 - At the top of the chair lift you can either take Red D6 or Blue D7 as they meet up again. If it is a sunny day you will see paragliding in this area
Step 22 - Take D10. Be careful and control your speed as the home run does get busy towards the end of the day and everybody is getting tired.
Step 23 - This merges into D1a. Be careful and control your speed as the home run does get busy towards the end of the day and everybody is getting tired
Step 24 - Whilst waiting for the ski bus home why not call in the Thomaselti après bar for a drink and sing-song

Any help would be much appreciated!

Ski resorts in Canada and US would not require this type of service. The mountains are generally structured so that all runs take you back to the main base area or to a lift that will take you to the base area. We don't use skiing as a form of transportation.
