ORGANISED SPORT
Winter becomes organised
Winterberg is part of PeakWave's skiing catalogue.
The local record used here does not support a single founding date for the sport, so the exhibition treats its sporting identity as an accumulation of use, access and organisation.

THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Winterberg is recorded at 51.194° N, 8.531° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 842 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
