Great gift for the skier in your life
I bought this book for my husband who plans everything around skiing. Its a beautiful book with incredible illustrations of every ski area. It was fun to look at all the places we had been as well as places we would love to go. You really could sit and go through it for hours. Expensive but worth it

The Man Behind the Maps Book
I got this as a present for a skier in my life and he was very impressed by the book. I'm not into skiing but I was able to easily appreciate the skill, time and dedication that went into making all these beautiful maps. I did not have any issues with the packaging - the book came shrink wrapped in its own custom fitting protective cardboard box, so the book was in perfect condition when opened.

What a cool gift for skiiers/snowboarders.
This book is impressive. The map art is stunning and it's so cool to look at the places we've been as well as where we want to travel to next. Great coffee table conversation piece and even cool just to look at even if you don't ski or snowboard.

Super cool, beautiful & high quality
My son is a snowboarder and wanted this for Christmas. I thought it was a bit expensive. Not when I saw the quality and beautiful, meticulous detail of the drawings! Love going to his house and paging through it! So does everyone else ;)

Fantastic signed book
Gifted this to my snowboarder husband for his birthday, and it brought him to tears of joy. He loves reminiscing over runs he has done, and can’t wait to review with his pals to plan their next adventures. Happy surprise that it was a signed copy.
