The MYWAY 2 Map House ski resort map was designed by Måns von Rohr and Catharina Wikström. The tear-resistant scroll map is really convenient and would come in handy for those who go mountain-skiing often. It's designed to be easily unrolled for navigation at any time -- even with gloves on. I especially like the papyrus-style sticks.
Implications - Although many companies within the hospitality industry have amped up their amenities with gadgets and other tech-savvy features, this geek-friendly option isn't appropriate for all markets. This ski resort reinvented the papyrus scroll to create an easily stored map that's easy to use -- even while the user is wearing thick winter gloves.
