Planning a Custom 3D Map of Attitash

An Attitash physical map has to explain two connected mountain areas as one destination. The central planning problem is deciding how Attitash and Bear Peak share scale, labels, and visual priority without losing the connection between them.

Concept: Attitash and Bear Peak can be studied as a connected two-peak subject for a future physical map.
TWO-PEAK BOUNDARY

Keep Attitash and Bear Peak connected

A physical map can lose the logic of a resort when each mountain is treated as an isolated form. The boundary should include both peaks, the useful connecting terrain, and enough base-area context for viewers to understand how the destination operates. Peripheral landscape belongs only when it supports that reading.

Set a priority for the connector before scale is approved. If the display is too narrow, either the peaks become cramped or the space between them disappears. A wide proof can test the balance before terrain fabrication begins.

COMPOSITION

Give each mountain a role in the display

The two landforms should read separately and together.

Attitash side

Preserve its terrain silhouette and base relationship without crowding the inter-peak connection.

Bear Peak side

Maintain comparable visual clarity even if buyer priorities assign one side more label detail.

Connection

Use route hierarchy and open space to keep movement between the mountain areas understandable.

Resort bases

Identify only the facilities necessary for orientation, sales, or the intended visitor task.

ATTITASH INPUTS

Confirm the source and display decisions

The resort's current approved files should govern final terrain and route graphics.

  • Exact two-peak boundary
  • Current terrain, trail, lift, and connector sources
  • Required base facilities and destination labels
  • Geographic or guest-facing orientation
  • Wall dimensions and viewing distance
  • Relief depth and any vertical exaggeration
  • Installation surface, access, destination, and schedule
LABEL STRATEGY

Avoid a dense band between the peaks

Connecting routes, lifts, and facility names can accumulate in the middle of a two-peak composition. Establish label tiers so critical orientation remains clear and secondary names move to a legend or are omitted at smaller scales.

A full-size graphic proof should be reviewed from the expected viewing distance. This test is especially important when the map will be mounted high or viewed while guests move through a lodge or sales environment.

The proof should also show the proposed frame and any legend area. Those elements consume real width, so testing the terrain alone can overstate the room available for Bear Peak, Attitash, and the routes that connect them.
