James Neihues is an absolute legend in the skiing world, but not for any of the reasons you might be thinking. James spent the last 30 years hand-painting the trail maps you see and use at your favorite resorts. Yes, that’s correct, he hand paints every tree, every ridge-line with absolute meticulous attention to detail. His style is unmistakable and transports us back to a simpler time when planning your ski adventure didn’t include cell phones or GPS gadgets. James’ latest release is a cumulation of his life’s work, a coffee table book called The Man Behind The Maps.
