Drawing Mode Pro Tips — Color Coding for Different Route Types

Bonvo.Ski's Drawing Mode lets you annotate the 3D map with freehand lines — but most people just draw random squiggles without a system. Here is a pro tip that will make your drawings actually useful: color code them by purpose.

A Color System That Works

When you activate Drawing Mode, you can choose different colors for your lines. Here is a system I use and recommend:

• Red — Hazards and warnings — Mark ice patches, closed sections, windblown ridges, or areas with poor visibility. Red means "be careful here."
• Blue — Planned routes — Trace the route you intend to ski. Before the day starts, draw your planned itinerary on the map so everyone in your group can see it.
• Green — Meeting points — Circle the spots where you plan to regroup: a specific restaurant, the bottom of a chairlift, or a trail junction.
• Yellow — Powder stashes — When you find untracked snow, mark it. Next time conditions are similar, you will know exactly where to go.

Saving and Sharing

Once you have drawn on the map, save your drawing so it persists. You can share annotated maps with friends in your group, which means your color-coded system becomes a shared language. Red means danger, blue means "follow this route," green means "meet here."

Build a Library

Over time, save drawings for different resorts and different conditions. You are building a personal guidebook — one that no printed map or trail app can replicate. It is your knowledge, captured visually on a 3D terrain map, ready to reference whenever you return.
