Belleayre Mountain Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
The Catskills' family-friendly, state-owned classic, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Belleayre Mountain 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 beloved western Catskills mountain that has offered affordable, old-school skiing close to New York City since 1949.
The Western Catskills' Home Mountain, Captured in Wood
Nestled in the Catskill Forest Preserve in Highmount, New York, on Route 28 about 2.5 hours from New York City, Belleayre Mountain is one of the Catskills' largest ski resorts and one of only three ski areas in New York owned and operated by the state's Olympic Regional Development Authority, alongside Whiteface and Gore. From a base of 2,025 feet to a summit of 3,429 feet, Belleayre delivers a 1,404-foot vertical drop across 171 acres of skiable terrain, with 62 trails served by 8 lifts including the Catskill Thunder Gondola and a high-speed detachable quad. The mountain's high summit catches roughly 140 to 150 inches of natural snow a year, boosted by lake-effect storms, and 96% snowmaking coverage keeps conditions reliable from late November through early April. This handcrafted map captures every hand-cut trail across the mountain's distinctive ridgeline layout in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Trail, Every Glade, Every Memory
Belleayre is famous for offering perhaps the best beginner and family experience in the Catskills, with a layout unlike any other mountain. The gentle, tree-lined trails of the lower mountain are completely separate from the upper mountain, with their own dedicated lifts, so newer skiers never have to worry about knocking heads with faster traffic. With nearly 60% of its trails rated blue, Belleayre offers more intermediate terrain than any other difficulty, delivering long cruising runs like the beloved Cathedral Brook to Discovery Way, the longest run at 12,024 feet. But there's plenty for everyone: the upper mountain, served by the Belleayre Express and Hawk quads, offers steeper drops and mogul trails ranging from intermediate to expert bumps. And Belleayre's glade skiing is genuinely underrated, with tree runs at the east end near Cathedral Brook, at the west end alongside Dot Nebel, and tucked in between the cut trails, holding fresh snow long after a storm because the mountain doesn't attract many aggressive skiers. Freestyle riders enjoy the Area 51 terrain park and two progression parks. Four separate lodges scattered across the mountain provide plenty of places to warm up, and the friendly, stress-free, old-school atmosphere keeps families from across the tri-state region coming back year after year.
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 ridgeline, glades, 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 fresh lake-effect morning in the western Catskills.
The Perfect Gift for Belleayre Skiers
Whether you learned to ski on the lower mountain, cruised the long blues from the summit, found untracked powder in the glades, rode the Catskill Thunder Gondola on a bluebird day, or have been making the drive up from the city for the mountain's affordable, laid-back charm for as long as you can remember, this map is a lasting reminder of the Catskills mountain that welcomes everyone.
