Vail Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
Seven legendary Back Bowls, one iconic mountain, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Vail 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 stunning tribute to Colorado's largest ski resort, where an Austrian-style village meets nearly 5,300 acres of world-class terrain.
Colorado's Crown Jewel, Captured in Wood
Set near the town of Vail in Eagle County, Colorado, about 100 miles west of Denver via Interstate 70, Vail opened in late 1962 and has grown into the largest single ski resort in Colorado and one of the largest in North America, second only to Big Sky. From a base of 8,120 feet to a summit of 11,570 feet, Vail delivers a massive 3,450-foot vertical drop across 5,289 to 5,317 acres, with roughly 195 to 278 marked trails served by 31 lifts, including two gondolas, four high-speed six-packs, and fourteen high-speed quads. Averaging 350-plus inches of snowfall a year, Vail was built from the ground up as a ski town, unlike Colorado's old mining towns turned resorts, and its Austrian-inspired Vail Village remains one of the most iconic base areas in American skiing. This handcrafted map captures all three sections of the mountain, the Front Side, the Back Bowls, and Blue Sky Basin, in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Bowl, Every Glade, Every Memory
Vail's terrain breaks down to roughly 18% beginner, 29% intermediate, and 53% advanced and expert, spread across three genuinely distinct zones. The north-facing Front Side, visible from I-70 as you approach the resort, offers meticulously groomed cruisers and beginner-friendly terrain near the base, with fast blue runs like Northwoods and challenging black diamonds like Northstar for those seeking more. But Vail's true legend lives in its seven Back Bowls, nearly 3,000 acres of wide-open, above-treeline powder fields that stretch endlessly in every direction, from the gentler China Bowl to the demanding black-diamond terrain of Siberia Bowl, with the Mongolia Bowls on the far edge holding powder stashes late into a storm day. Riva Ridge, Vail's longest run at nearly four miles, mixes intermediate and expert sections for a genuine top-to-bottom adventure, while Highline stands as the mountain's premier mogul run. Beyond the Back Bowls, a catwalk leads to Blue Sky Basin, Vail's newest terrain, offering a quieter, more remote feel with gladed trails cut through the woods across Earl's Bowl and beyond. Two terrain parks, including a superpipe, round out the offering for freestyle riders.
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 bowls, glades, and vast 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 powder morning in the Back Bowls.
