Maybe my hot take, but Deer Valley’s new “expanded excellence” is legit what would happen if you prompted AI with “Double Deer Valley’s terrain”.
Like Claude would be all like:
“✻ flibbertigibbeting … “
and then a year later present you a mountain with like, 2X the nondescript, parallel groomers it already had.
Although it may not be clever enough to literally name the trails “Nondescript” and “Catchall”.
