ABSTRACT

Data layers that indicate topography, vertical relief, roads, trails, buildings, and other features will provide enough detail to give the flexibility required when customizing the deep map. Sun Peaks Resort Corporation (SPRC) granted permission to use its CAD map of the resort. If you go to the Sun Peaks website, you'll get some answers. This chapter documents the process of creating that website with author mountain studies students in their senior seminar in winter 2013, and people will proceed through the process chronologically, documenting issues, challenges, obstructions, breakthroughs, opportunities, failures, and successes. This is a pedagogical experiment in cultural mapping. In fact, the opportunities afforded by digital technology are absolutely necessary in order to get beyond the brochure and provide rich content across disciplines, cultures, and time. All of this information is available in brochures. With the brochures, whether online or hard copy, there are three maps: winter alpine and nordic runs, summer bike and hiking trails, and the village.
