Assessment

Independent reporting from The Denver Post and Summit Daily News in December 2023 confirmed that Skittenz (founded by Steven Bright and Ashley Curry) obtained formal licensing from Vail Resorts to print official trail maps onto their mitten skins, initially launching with four resorts (Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, and Keystone) and expanding to Park City Mountain by January 2024. As of 2024, the company's commercial product catalog listed official trail map sleeves for nine Vail Resorts properties (including Whistler Blackcomb, Heavenly, Crested Butte, and Stowe), confirming and exceeding the seven licensed maps claimed.

December 10, 2023 reporting in The Denver Post and Summit Daily News confirmed Skittenz secured formal licensing from Vail Resorts for ski trail maps.
The 2024 Skittenz commercial product catalog offered trail map skins for nine separate Vail Resorts mountains.
