Alta Ski Resort

Game changing!

I had used Avenza Maps for hiking and cycling in my local preserve (McDowell Sonoran Preserve, AZ), and was pleased to find that Alta had their trail map available. The Avenza functionality of tying a traditional, very detailed paper map with phone GPS position and navigation is really a game changer! The base maps provided by Google Maps and GPS units from Garmin don't have the details, are hard to manipulate (pan and zoom, etc.), make orienting yourself difficult. The Avenza Map is just the opposite: easy to orient and with the phone GPS, you are able to determine where you are and how to get where you are going. For anyone who has used ski area trail maps, it's totally intuitive and I cannot see how any ski resort can NOT have an Avenza Map! It not only makes it easier to get around and enjoy the resort, if you have to deal with an emergency, it's a life saver. I will always look for an Avenza Map when I go to a new resort.
