Good lord.
Well this thread is already awesome.
Here

I've always wondered what a hillside map of a network of bike trails would look like from him. But yeah Iike everyone else I'm used to seeing his name on pretty much every trail map of every US ski area ever. I'd dig seeing that painting style to layout some bike stuff.Besides the comet that killed the dinosaurs nothing has destroyed a species faster than entitled white people.-ajp

I have spent many, many hours salivating over his work. He's the best out there.

I'm pretty sure Powder did a profile on him a few seasons back, can't remember any details though - you're welcome. All I can picture is Bob Ross, though:

Thanks to the OP for this thread. A serious blast from the past for me. As a ski obsessed kid, I collected trail maps. There was and is something so cool about staring at trail maps and dreaming of the possibilities. I would even spend countless hours drawing my own trail maps of hills I made up. I often wondered about that name, Jim Nuhues. Always felt his work was the best. Hudson Bay Mountain redid their trail map 7 or so years back and I remember thinking, 'yeah it's O.K., but not as good as the ones that dude from when I was a kid cranks out.' Several decades on, I teach grade 7 and run an outdoor program at my school in Smithers. One of our projects involves inventing a ski hill and drawing a trail map. The kids really like making up trail names and drawing all the little trees and details. Most everyone probably knows about this, but check out skimap.org if you have not had a chance already.

Cool resources in this thread. Might have to buy a Nehues print. As a kid I would spend hours making 3-D ski maps. Basically you get a blank piece of paper, crumple it up then uncrumple it a bit and tape it down to the table or a big hard shell book (best to rotate it as your work on it) so it forms a blank white mountain in 3-D. Then you set at it with pens to make the lifts, trees, cliffs, etc.

Murray Hay rocks. Grew up in Alberta skiing the Big 3 so he was prominently featured in my childhood trail map collection as well. Wish I had kept all those old trail maps.
