Don't know if this has worked.

foxtrotzulu, My experience of Canadian resorts is that every possible line and variation is marked as a separate piste. I recall one piste in Whistler called "lifties leap" basically it was 3m drop onto the normal piste.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

dmac9, The resort is Tignes and I think you are missing some arrows around Lys as it doesn't look on your map as if you can get from the top of Grand Huit down to the bottom of Palafour.

I can't view it as "personal storage" is blocked at work. Would be much better to just place it as a pic in a post

It's not complete. I was just testing the concept.

Interesting concept.
As someone who now needs reading glasses, I'd say that some of the vital information (like direction arrows) is rather small.
Would it work if low was always at the bottom and high at the top? That way the lifts would always go up the page and runs down - so you'd never need arrows.
It may be that pistes with all their variations and options are rather more complicated than underground lines and, in the end, don't work so well this way.

I quite like the underground map. Once completed it may be too complex to read though.

The overhead view goes someway to giving an indication of how close various lifts are to each other, harder to do that if top = high. There are other ways of making up and down more obvious though, thicker arrows, tapering lines etc.

That will be true no matter what method is used, it's often those awkward situations where run X stops below lift Y where a minor detail on the map needs to indicate that this link is not available. Also situations where a flat walk is involved on a plateau, I've certainly taken a piste & another lift to avoid a flat walk in the past.

This (bar a bit of graphical tidying up) is all of the Tigne piste map in diagrammtic style. I've included heights where I could find them for the top of lifts. If anyone knows of a comprehensive list then I could add them. I did find a list of all the lifts which went into a lot of detail but didn't actually give the heights.
Also a link to the pdf as the resolution on the jpeg doesn't look very good.

Big improvemnets but I'm missing the 'romance' of a 'mountain map'

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
