If you ski, snowboard, telemark ski, or simply love mountains, ski resorts and art, then enter James Niehues. Spanning 30 years, James has hand-painted over 200 ski resort trail maps.

In this book you will find full page, stunning images of his art, documenting the world’s most iconic ski areas including Alta, Arapahoe Basin, Aspen, Breckenridge, Big Sky, Deer Valley, Heavenly, Jackson Hole, Jay Peak, Killington, Kirkwood, Lake Louise, Mammoth, Mont Tremblant, Mt. Bachelor, Park City, Revelstoke, Snowbird, Squaw Valley, Stowe, Sugarloaf, Sun Valley, Taos, Telluride, Whistler Blackcomb, just to name a few.

Not only are there images of his breathtaking, incredibly detailed art, James also includes BTS on his techniques, which reach upwards of six weeks to complete a single painting. One example, for mapping Breckenridge, you see all that was needed to hand paint this art - aerial photography, a myriad of pencil sketches, the progress over time and then the final trail map illustration.

And justice for this art, the book is a lay-flat binding so you can absorb all of the nuances and detail, along with a heavy weight matted coated, Italian art-quality printing. Simply incredible….
