Lost Trail Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
One of the last true undiscovered ski areas in the American West - now on your wall. Mountaincut's Lost Trail 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 remote, powder-blessed mountain straddling the Montana-Idaho border atop the Continental Divide.
The Continental Divide's Hidden Powder Stash, Captured in Wood
Perched at Lost Trail Pass on the Montana-Idaho border in the Bitterroot Range of the northern Rocky Mountains, at the junction of US Highway 93 and Montana Highway 43, roughly 90 miles south of Missoula — Lost Trail is the kind of ski area that powder chasers whisper about and locals fiercely protect. First opened in 1938, this family-owned mountain sits at a base elevation of 7,000 feet and climbs to a summit of 8,200 feet on Saddle Mountain, delivering 1,800 feet of vertical drop across 1,800 acres of skiable terrain spread over two mountains. With 69 trails served by 5 double chairs and 3 rope tows, and an average of over 300 inches of natural snowfall each season, with no snowmaking needed - this handcrafted map captures every trail, every bowl, and every powder stash on one of the most authentic ski mountains left in America.
Every Trail, Every Bowl, Every Memory
Lost Trail's terrain is spread across two mountains and designed to reward skiers and riders of every ability. Approximately 20% of the trails are rated beginner, 60% intermediate, and 20% advanced and expert, but the numbers only hint at the experience. The intermediate terrain is the mountain's sweet spot: wide, rolling, and blanketed in light, dry Rocky Mountain powder that stays untracked for days thanks to the resort's remote location and a Thursday-through-Sunday operating schedule that keeps crowds to a minimum. For those who came for the steep and deep, expert terrain like the legendary Hollywood Bowl and the runs accessed from the summit chairs deliver genuine big-mountain descents with cliff lines, powder pillows, and natural features that feel more like backcountry skiing than a lift-served resort. Two terrain parks - Front Country near the lodge with big air jumps, and the more natural Powder Park for beginners - round out the experience. The longest run stretches 2.5 miles, and with the ski patrol staffed entirely by volunteers and a day lodge that serves affordable food and local beer, Lost Trail is the definition of down-home Western hospitality.
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 twin peaks, ridgelines, and trails 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 — natural variations in the grain and stain give every piece its own character, just like an untracked powder day atop the Continental Divide.
