The Man Behind The Maps



ABOUT THE BOOK

If you are a skier or snowboarder, there is a good chance James Niehues has been your mountain guide. Throughout his 30 years career he has worked at the smallest hills and the most expansive resorts in North America. 
As 2019 winter season has begun, I know at least the Killington Resort has! and perfectly timing, I received this beautiful book yesterday.
In a world that is becoming so digital, its always been refreshing for skiers and/or riders to pull out a trail map and use Niehues work to figure out where to go down next.
His artwork provides an unparalleled human touch to the maps, one that digital renderings can not quite capture. This is because Niehues actually put boots on the ground to ski many of the areas he paints.

This is a perfect book to flip through to plan where to visit next and open a book to remember the favorite runs at dozen of ski areas.


Enjoy winter season with families and friends!
