Ski trail maps use artist's hand-painted panoramas
If you've ever gone skiing at an unfamiliar resort without getting lost, chances are you have James Niehues to thank.
Niehues, 65, is the man behind the trail map. His hand-painted panoramas have been reproduced into millions of pocket-sized maps handed out by ski resorts in North America, Japan , South Korea , China , New Zealand, Australia , Chile and Serbia.
"His trail maps are as much a part of the sport as snow," said Greg Ditrinco, executive editor of Ski Magazine.
That's high praise for a fellow whose formal art training consisted of a "learn to draw" mail-order course, taken in ninth grade while home sick from school.
Niehues always wanted to find a job that "had a little art." After the Army, he worked as an offset pressman, an ad layout artist and a designer before contacting Bill Brown, who painted the majority of the ski maps in the 1970s and 1980s.
Niehues went to Brown looking for some encouragement, but left with a commission.
