WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"VistaMap & Gary were great to work with. We had quite the undertaking in updating our map from a busy design to one that was clean. Gary used Google imaging and input from our operations team to design a clean map that has been well received by our staff & guests. Gary has also been able to quickly make updates as our operations changed throughout the season. With an expansion potentially on the horizon we have already prepped an area should that become reality."

"As we started the process of producing new trails maps to include the upcoming expansion, several options were considered. Ultimately, VistaMap provided the optimal combination of the mountain rendering and information. The initial use of the map will be to highlight our new terrain, then next season we will put the new set of maps into use for the entire resort. Generating the variety of versions we required has been a seamless operation. The flexibility of the digital format will make future changes to the map easy to implement."

"Once Gary started the process of creating the maps, he provided us with several rough perspective sketches to consider. Being able to select from these examples made choosing the correct view an easy task."
Leigh Hierholzer
Director of Marketing
Arapahoe Basin, CO
"I worked with Gary to go through the image and information and make sure everything was correct. His understanding of the terrain and ability to make adjustments to elements from single trees to larger areas, has resulted in a map with a level of accuracy and detail that we have never had before.
Throughout several proofing sessions, the resulting changes were made in a timely manner we were able to continue to fine tune the map, I don't know if any other process that would provide us with that level of flexibility and input from rough sketch to the finished map.
I’m looking forward to being able to adjust the map easily in years to come as we gain operational knowledge of the new terrain."

"As President of Adrenalin, Inc. a marketing and branding agency, we are always searching for the newest and greatest solutions for our clients. So when A-Basin told us they were updating their map for the 2017-18 season to include the expansion of The Beavers and Steep Gullies, we were excited at the opportunity to have some input on the development of the new art. When introduced to Gary and VistaMap, I was impressed by his kind nature and understanding of our needs (as the agency that would be placing the new map in various materials). Gary listened to our requests and delivered an amazing product. The layered illustrator files are a breeze to work with, and what was even more impressive than the “final” product was Gary’s response to a few late tweaks that came a few weeks after the map was approved. VistaMap is a blessing to the ski industry."

“When we recently upgraded our ski area with a new 6-seater chairlift, we needed to overhaul our trail map and have it ready by a specific deadline. Gary and the team at VistaMap have been brilliant to work with during this process, despite our time zone challenges (him being in the U.S. and us being in New Zealand) and having never visited our ski area before, he created a trail map that accurately reflects the terrain at our mountain.
Gary worked through any errors or things that were missed in a timely fashion. He kept us well informed, maintained deadline, and produced a great trail map with intricate detail, during what could have been a very stressful period! “

“Squaw Valley Resort is pursuing a variety of initiatives to make the mountain and village friendlier, more approachable, and more navigable. Among other steps, we engaged in a major overhaul of our trail map and mountain signage. Trail names were revised and consolidated, ratings were refined, and graphics were updated to more accurately depict the mountain’s terrain and scale. Changing trail names, signs, and maps concurrently was a little bit complicated; Vistamap staff was available on a daily basis to support our review and revision of multiple proofs of the map. VistaMap’s approach to building the map image allowed it to evolve until we got it just right. The final maps integrated seamlessly into a variety of applications ranging from print, to website, to mobile-device applications. Working with Vistamap helped us to achieve our goals."

"Gary has been doing the graphics for our maps and status boards for many years. He is very responsive to our graphics needs for signage on the mountain and always quick to respond. He is also extremely creative which helps.”

"I have worked with Gary for the past two years on Vail Mountain's summer and winter trail maps. We always have a lot of last minute changes that come through and he has very quick turn-around whenever we request it. We expanded our summer mountain activity structures and his interpretation of the new ropes courses and zipline on the map were excellent! I look forward to continue working with him in the future."
