Big Powderhorn Mountain Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
The Upper Peninsula's beloved Bavarian-village snow country classic, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Big Powderhorn 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 family-favorite Michigan mountain buried in 17 feet of Lake Superior powder every single winter.
The Heart of Big Snow Country, Captured in Wood
Set in the Gogebic Range of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, between the towns of Bessemer and Ironwood in the heart of the Western U.P.'s legendary Big Snow Country, Big Powderhorn Mountain sits right in the Lake Superior snowbelt. From a base of 1,214 feet to a summit of 1,631 feet, the mountain delivers a 417-foot vertical drop across 253 skiable acres, with 45 trails served by 9 double chairlifts. What makes Big Powderhorn special is the snow: an astonishing average of 17 feet, over 200 inches, of fresh lake-effect powder blankets the mountain each season, and snowmaking covers most of the terrain to keep conditions consistent all winter long. Voted the number one Mom and Pop ski resort in the country by Men's Journal, Big Powderhorn pairs that big snow with a charming Bavarian-style village and genuine, family-run hospitality. This handcrafted map captures every trail and glade across the mountain in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Trail, Every Glade, Every Memory
Big Powderhorn is a true family mountain, with an even, well-balanced mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced terrain that gives every skier and rider in the group a place to belong. Its 45 trails, spread across a wide, welcoming face served by a fleet of nine chairlifts, offer everything from gentle learning slopes to genuinely challenging runs. Fall-line favorites like Crosshair Chute, Don't Chute, and Double Barrel West deliver steep, satisfying pitches, while glade runs like the aptly named Crazy Trail weave through the trees, holding that famous lake-effect powder long after a storm. Two terrain parks, a beginner park, and a dedicated learning area round out the experience, and the Wolverine Nordic Trail connects to the resort with kilometres of groomed cross-country skiing. When the day is done, the newly renovated Caribou Lodge offers dining, a pool, a sauna, and nightly weekend entertainment. Best of all, Big Powderhorn's ski-in, ski-out chalets, friendly staff, and free skiing for the youngest and oldest guests keep families coming back generation after generation, some for 40 winters and counting.
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 trails and glades 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 deep lake-effect powder morning in Big Snow Country.
The Perfect Gift for Big Powderhorn Devotees
Whether you learned to ski on the beginner slopes, found fresh tracks in the glades after a lake-effect dump, spent your winters in a slopeside chalet, gathered with family at the Caribou Lodge, or have been making the trek up to the Western U.P. for as long as you can remember, this map is a lasting reminder of the mountain that feels like home.
