Skiing art - a picture is worth a 1000 words

If you are a resort skier then you're already familiar with the work of James Niehues. He's been creating ski resort trail map illustrations for over 25 years. His maps are so detailed that each tree is individually hand painted, making each trail map illustration a work of art. Some of his more local illustrations have been for Alta, Alyeska, Big Sky, Crested Butte, Jackson, Heavenly, Mt. Baker, Mt. Hood, Squaw Valley, Sugar Bowl, Taos, Telluride, Winter Park, Whistler, Kicking Horse, Valle Nevado, Revelstoke and more. Give the following video a watch to learn more.
