Doesn’t look familiar. Not sure it’s based on an actual mountain in Vermont

Oh goodness… I have this framed across from my desk and stare at it every day wondering… at least I’m not alone…

Definitely Mansfield with spruce peak on th bottom right side. They're on opposite sides of the highway.

Agree, Mansfield, but the trails aren't right.

Yeah, the profile of the mountains are right for Mansfield, but I think the ski trails are made up.

It could be an older trail map. The artist most likely doesn't want to infringe in "stowe's" (vail) copyright. But in the print you can definitely track both toll road and nose dive.

Definitely not an older map. Stowe's basic trail layout hasn't changed much since very early on.

I don’t think it matches any that I know of exactly. I think it’s more just inspired by ski mountains of VT. If this is in fact supposed to be somewhere specific then it’s a shit rendition.

I think it’s meant to be Smugglers Notch (Mt Mansfield), with Morse in the foreground and Madonna in the back.

Yep. It's roughly based on Smuggler's Notch. The trails don't match up perfectly, but the lift line and the ridge of Madonna Mountain (rear mountain) do: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e64401e4b09706d499d446/1548424759187-R68N6JVIXB0CUOOAN1O8/Stowe+buying+Smugglers%27+Notch+Ski+Magazine.

The front mountain is roughly based on Morse. You can even see the Morse Highlands area behind the pine trees, bottom of the mountain in the foreground. https://nyskiblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/smugglers-notch-trail-map.jpg

The back peak is definitely Mansfield you can see the nose, chin and Adam’s apple. The trails on it seem reminiscent of the gondola-side of stowe. Logically that would make the front peak spruce peak but I’m not sure that’s the case I think it’s something else maybe MRG single chair or something

Probably just VT in general really. Looks like a Sabra field print. Or something similar to that.

It’s an interesting mountain configuration. Two peaks back to back. 🤔

Back in my day we called that a mountain range. Back when two mountain peaks could be next to each other. 🤔

The mountain in the background looks like it could be magic and maybe Stratton in the front.

We are thinking magic for the top one, although a pretty old map. Front could be stratton?

Yes of course, I used to see it multiple times a week.

It's the mountain outside your mom's window

Poster hanging at a restaurant, but we can't figure out what mountain it is. Didn't seem like stowe or smuggs to me? Driving us crazy. Thanks!

Other than the second mounain in the background, it looks not unlike Cannon Mountain.

Stowe. The back mountain is the Gondola side of Stowe and the closer mountain is Spruce peak. These Ski Vermont posters are artist's renditions; they are not meant to an exact trail map. Cropped Stowe trail map for reference.
