Schuss Mountain Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
Northern Michigan's Chain-of-Lakes escape, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Schuss 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 Bellaire mountain where rolling hills, sparkling lakes, and Midwest hospitality come together at Shanty Creek Resort.
The Heart of Shanty Creek, Captured in Wood
Set in Bellaire, Michigan, just 37 miles northeast of Traverse City, Schuss Mountain anchors one of the three distinct villages that make up Shanty Creek Resort, alongside Summit and Cedar River. From a base of 675 feet to a summit of 1,125 feet, Schuss Mountain delivers 450 feet of vertical drop across roughly 80 to 400 acres of skiable terrain, with 42 to 53 named runs served by lifts that give skiers direct, out-the-door access to the slopes. Overlooking Northern Michigan's rolling hills and the region's famous Chain of Lakes, Schuss Mountain averages around 160 inches of lake-effect snow a year, backed by extensive snowmaking on much of the groomed terrain. This handcrafted map captures every trail on the mountain in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Trail, Every Overlook, Every Memory
Schuss Mountain's terrain breaks down to roughly 36% beginner and 29% intermediate, with the remainder rated black diamond for more advanced skiing and riding, giving families and mixed-ability groups plenty of room to spread out. For those chasing a genuine Midwest thrill, Kingdom Come drops straight down the face of Schuss Mountain, one of the most exhilarating runs in the region. For a more relaxed pace, cruisers like Queen's Corner and Mellow Yellow let skiers slow down and soak in the scenery, with views of the surrounding lakes and hills that keep people coming back year after year. Beyond the alpine trails, Shanty Creek offers roughly 18 to 25 kilometres of groomed cross-country trails connecting all three resort villages, alpine tubing, snowshoeing, fat tire biking, and weekend NASTAR race training atop the Good Knight lift. Extensive lodging, dining, and the nearby village of Bellaire, home to some of Michigan's best breweries and bars, round out a genuinely complete Northern Michigan getaway.
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 fresh snowfall over the Chain of Lakes.
The Perfect Gift for Schuss Mountain Devotees
Whether you learned to ski here as a kid, dropped straight down Kingdom Come, cruised Queen's Corner while taking in the lake views, raced NASTAR atop Good Knight, or have been making the trip up to Bellaire season after season, this map is a lasting reminder of the mountain that makes Northern Michigan feel like home.
