Whiteface Mountain Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
The greatest vertical east of the Rockies, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Whiteface 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 the Adirondack High Peaks legend that hosted the 1980 Winter Olympics and remains New York's premier ski destination.
The East's Olympic Mountain, Captured in Wood
Set in Wilmington, New York, in the Adirondack High Peaks along Route 86, just nine miles from the historic village of Lake Placid, Whiteface Mountain is the fifth-highest peak in New York State and, unlike the rest of the East's Appalachian ranges, part of the Canadian Shield, giving it colder conditions and more snow than most of its regional neighbors. Whiteface's first major expansion in 1966 brought the mountain's vertical past 3,200 feet, and a second, $14.5 million expansion prepared the mountain to host the alpine skiing events of the 1980 Winter Olympics, held February 14 through 23 that year. Today Whiteface delivers 3,430 feet of vertical drop, the greatest of any lift-served mountain in the eastern United States, across 288 acres, with 90 to 94 trails stretching over 25 miles served by 11 to 12 lifts, including the Cloudsplitter Gondola and the Face Lift quad. Averaging 190 inches of snowfall a year with 98 to 99% snowmaking coverage, this handcrafted map captures the Summit, Main Valley, Little Whiteface, Lookout Mountain, and Bear Den in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Peak, Every Slide, Every Memory
Whiteface divides into five distinct sections, each with its own character. The Summit, served by the Summit Quad, delivers a 1,830-foot vertical drop of long, steep trails, along with The Follies, a series of switchbacks that let beginners ski down from the very top, and access to the sidecountry beyond. The Valley area holds primarily beginner and intermediate terrain served by the Cloudsplitter Gondola and Face Lift quad, with long, gentle cruisers ideal for building confidence. Lookout Mountain, at 4,000 feet, is home to newer terrain including Hoyt's High, the Sugar Valley Glades, Rand's Last Stand, and the Wilmington Trail, the longest intermediate run in the Northeast at 2.5 miles. Bear Den is an entirely separate area for families and beginners, with its own lifts, trails, lodge, and the Flying Squirrel beginner terrain park, connected to the rest of the mountain by The Notch. For the truly adventurous, The Slides offer a rare, unmaintained, lift-served experience through trees, rocks, ledges, and even a frozen waterfall, opened only when conditions allow. From the summit, a 360-degree view stretches across the Adirondacks all the way to Vermont and Canada.
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 peaks, slides, 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 atop the Olympic slopes.
