Buttermilk Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
Home of the Winter X Games and Aspen's most welcoming mountain, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Buttermilk 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 Colorado playground where first-timers find their footing and the world's best freestyle athletes push the limits of the sport.
Aspen's Playful Mountain, Captured in Wood
Set in Pitkin County about halfway between Aspen and Snowmass Village, Buttermilk is the smallest and friendliest of Aspen Snowmass's four mountains, developed by Art Pfister in 1958. From a base of 7,870 feet to a summit of 9,900 feet, Buttermilk delivers a genuinely impressive 2,030-foot vertical drop across roughly 470 acres, with 44 trails served by eight lifts including three high-speed quads. The mountain is divided into three distinct areas: West Buttermilk with its gentle beginner terrain, Main Buttermilk in the center, and Tiehack on the east side with the mountain's steeper cruisers. Buttermilk averages around 200 inches of snow, and from the summit and the Cliffhouse restaurant, you get what many consider the best view of Aspen's famed Maroon Bells and 14,018-foot Pyramid Peak. This handcrafted map captures all three areas and every trail in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Trail, Every Park, Every Memory
Buttermilk's terrain breaks down to roughly 35% beginner, 39% intermediate, and 26% advanced, with wide, tree-lined groomers that make it the ideal place to learn. In practice, the blues here suit confident beginners and the blacks would be blue at many other resorts, which is exactly the point: this is a mountain built for progression and for fun. The Hideout learning center and Fort Frog give kids a magical introduction to the sport, while endless greens and blues let new skiers cover real ground. But Buttermilk's other identity is legendary. Every January since 2002, the mountain has hosted the ESPN Winter X Games, with a slopestyle course carrying over 40 jumps and 25 rails and a 22-foot superpipe that has crowned Olympians and X Games champions alike. Voted number one for park and pipe by Transworld Snowboarding readers, Buttermilk's freestyle terrain draws riders from around the world. And here's the local secret: on powder days, when everyone crowds Ajax, Highlands, and Snowmass, Buttermilk's upper mountain and tree stashes stay quiet, with three express lifts and virtually no lift lines.
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 three areas 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 bluebird morning with Pyramid Peak on the horizon.
The Perfect Gift for Buttermilk Devotees
Whether you took your very first turns on West Buttermilk, sessioned the superpipe, watched the X Games from the base, skinned up for a Friday morning breakfast at the Cliffhouse, or found untracked powder while everyone else crowded the other mountains, this map is a lasting reminder of the mountain where Aspen skiing is simply about having fun.
