Did anyone else notice that Squaw Valley got a new James Niehues map this season?

I think you're thinking of Mammoth, which also got a new James Niehues map this season.

This is a little

but I've noticed sometimes that resorts change map painting layouts but keep the same artist. For instance, Keystone's map is created by K.M. Mastin (I think), and the map from 2005-2006 was a good one for them. Starting from 2006-2007, they've used a new painted map created by the same person. However, I think that they did this mainly so that they could better show the backside of Dercum Mountain and the backside of North Peak, for the backside of North Peak was sort of hidden on the 2000-2006 maps.
