Ski maps around the U.S. and around the world all trace back to one man: James Niehues, the artist behind the canvas of all your favorite resort trail maps. That said, he’s painted over 430 ski trail maps, so seeing them all in person is pretty close to impossible. To commemorate these beautiful paintings and make it easier for you to see them all in one place, they’ve been compiled into a coffee table book so you can admire them not only on the slopes but also from your living room couch.Â
This book is fun to flip through, but it also tests how well you really know your mountains, since his paintings don’t name trails or peaks like computer-generated maps do. Instead, they show the mountains in their pure, original painted form, so we can sit back and appreciate the little details in both the paintings and our favorite mountains.Â
