Arapahoe Basin Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
The Legend, the highest and gnarliest terrain in Colorado, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Arapahoe Basin Ski Trail Map is a layered wooden wall art piece featuring hand-traced ski trails expertly laser cut from premium birch and/or walnut plywood, a handcrafted tribute to the high-alpine Summit County icon where the season never seems to end and the terrain never lets up.
The Highest Skiing in North America, Captured in Wood
Perched high along Loveland Pass in the White River National Forest of Summit County, about 68 miles west of Denver near Keystone, Arapahoe Basin has earned its nickname, "The Legend," over nearly 80 years of operation since 1946. With an East Wall summit elevation of 13,050 feet, A-Basin offers some of the highest inbounds skiable terrain in all of North America. From a lift-served base of 10,780 feet, the mountain delivers a 2,530-foot vertical drop across 1,428 acres, with roughly 145 trails served by 9 lifts. Thanks to its extreme elevation and mostly north-facing exposure, A-Basin boasts one of the longest ski seasons on the continent, averaging 233 days and often running from mid-October well into June. This handcrafted map captures every trail, cornice, gully, and bowl on one of the most adventurous ski mountains in America, in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Bowl, Every Chute, Every Memory
A-Basin is home to some of Colorado's highest, steepest, and most adventurous inbounds terrain, with over 70% of the mountain rated advanced and expert. The upper half sits above the timberline, delivering open bowls, cornices, and white-knuckle chutes with genuine consequence. The signature run, Pallavicini, is among the longest and steepest trails in the entire state. Montezuma Bowl on the backside opens up sunny double-black chutes like End Zone and Elephant Trunk that drop off the Zuma Cornice, plus blues that funnel to the Zuma quad. The Beavers and the Steep Gullies, a recent 468-acre expansion adjacent to the Pali chair, add rolling trails, open bowls, gladed tree skiing, and steep rocky chutes. But A-Basin isn't only for experts. Nearly 30% of the mountain welcomes intermediates and beginners, with wide, scenic groomers off the modern Black Mountain Express and two magic carpets for first-timers. Two terrain parks, High Divide and Treeline, serve the next generation of freestyle skiers and riders. And the culture is pure Colorado: there's no village here, just "The Beach," the legendary free parking lot where locals tailgate with beers and BBQs before, during, and after their day, cementing A-Basin's status as the ultimate locals' mountain.
Exceptional Craftsmanship, Made in the USA
All Mountaincut wooden trail maps are precision laser cut and etched, hand-stained, and finished in the United States using birch and/or walnut plywood. The two-layer construction creates a rich, dimensional look where the mountain's bowls, cornices, and trail network stand out in beautiful relief. Hanging hardware comes preinstalled, so your new trail map will be on display in minutes.
Because each piece is crafted from real wood, no two maps are exactly alike, with natural variations in the grain and stain giving every piece its own character, just like a June powder morning high on the East Wall.
The Perfect Gift for A-Basin Devotees
Whether you have dropped Pallavicini, earned your turns hiking the East Wall, tailgated on The Beach in a t-shirt in May, chased fresh chutes in Montezuma Bowl, or have been skiing The Legend since lift tickets cost a buck and a quarter, this map is a lasting reminder of the mountain that defines Colorado skiing.
