• * Roundup has been marked as a Blue Square from the Map and the Roundup Double but as a Green Circle from the Pinto Double. Pony Tail is a Green Circle though marked as a Blue Square from the Atomic Express and formerly marked as a Black Diamond named "The Zone" from the Saddleback Triple. Stallion Slide is a Black Diamond though marked as a Blue Square from the Fixed Grip Quad. Nightmare Ride, Stampede, and The Wave are marked as Freestyle even though the Freestlye zone was moved to Horsefly Hop over the Summer
• ^ Canter and Mule Train are officially 1 run but cannot be marked as a single run because a Black Diamond cuts through it.

[edit] Trivia

• Over the past few years, Horseshoe has put their Terrain Park in three different areas
• Horseshoe has only one sponsor, Wilson (The makers of Atomic Skis)
• Horseshoe uses the resort maps from 2002 at the Base Lodge and the Mountain Stations of the chairlifts, and therefore, Chair 5 is shown as a Double
