Sandia Peak Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
Albuquerque's own mountain, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Sandia Peak 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 New Mexico's original ski area, rising above the Duke City on the ridge of the Sandia Mountains.
New Mexico's First Ski Area, Captured in Wood
Set in the Sandia Mountains within the Cibola National Forest, just 35 miles northeast of Albuquerque, Sandia Peak Ski Area opened in 1936 as La Madera Ski Area, earning the distinction of being New Mexico's very first ski resort. Now owned and operated by Mountain Capital Partners, whose portfolio spans 14 ski, bike, and golf destinations across the Southwest, Oregon, and Chile, Sandia Peak has long been where Albuquerque learns to ski and ride. From a base of 8,678 feet to a summit of 10,378 feet, the mountain delivers a 1,700-foot vertical drop across 200 acres, with 35 trails served by four lifts, three double chairs and a T-bar. This handcrafted map captures every trail on the mountain in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Trail, Every Turn, Every Memory
Sandia Peak's terrain breaks down to 23% beginner, 49% intermediate, and 28% advanced, with no expert-rated runs, making it a genuinely approachable mountain for Albuquerque families and first-timers. The longest run, Double Eagle II, stretches roughly two miles from summit to base, and the Scrapyard terrain park gives freestyle riders a place to progress. Averaging around 100 to 125 inches of snow a year, with snowmaking covering 22 acres, Sandia Peak keeps conditions reliable throughout the season. The mountain shares its ridge, though not its ownership, with the legendary Sandia Peak Tramway, one of the longest aerial tramways in the world and the longest in the Americas, which has carried sightseers and skiers from the edge of the city to the mountaintop since 1966. At the summit, Ten 3 offers a place to warm up with a view, while the Double Eagle II Cafe keeps things simple at the base.
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 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 crisp morning above the Rio Grande Valley.
The Perfect Gift for Sandia Peak Devotees
