As promised, I finally wrapped up the first version of my trail map! After several trips and some memory recollection I have tried to be as accurate as possible, specifically in regards to trail beginning and end points as well as intersection locations. Some notable differences from the old standard Diablo Map:
- Drawn on top of 70+ stitched Google Earth images as opposed to the ski map illustration for better landmarks and an easier to follow trail network.
- New color coding to better differentiate between Beginner, Advanced and Expert trails, as well as the famous Jump Line and features
- Mapped notations for Diablo's well-revered technical features including Anthem, Stigmata, the new Das Wall and more.
- Expanded trail system, up to date as of last week!
- Vector-based output to allow close-up zooming.
Due to the Google Earth background, the PDF is a rather large 7.1MB.
Please to not reproduce for intent to sell, modify or distribute without the written consent of Diablo Freeride Park. Thanks!

*EDIT: This map has been modified slightly and is now offered as the official Diablo Trail Guide! As 2008 is still promising to offer plenty of new trails and features, I can't say whether full size printed copies will be available at the mountain, so you might want to print a copy or two on your own before heading up.
Ciao!

P.S. Let me thank Bobby (bobushka king), Bryan (fastbandit) and Ryan (timekiller) for helping to scout out the trails and test ride the map in its primitive forms to get it to where it is now.
