Artist who painted 250 mountain trail maps for ski resorts to release book  | CBC News

Legendary trail map artist James Niehues is teasing a new collaboration with Telluride, Colorado-based Wagner Custom Skis.

Niehues is known for hand painting over 430 ski resort trail maps on 5 continents over his 30 year career.

It looks like Niehues’ incredible artwork will be available as a custom topsheet design on pairs of Wagner skis.
