ABOUT US.
THE ORIGINAL WOOD SKI MAP ARTISTS.
Torched Peaks creates handcrafted ski resort wall art and wooden ski maps inspired by more than 150 iconic ski resorts.
Designed by lifelong mountain people, each piece celebrates the mountains, memories, and experiences that continue to shape who we are.
More Than Wall Art.
Torched Peaks embodies the fire, passion, and lifelong connection that skiers and snowboarders share with their favorite mountains. It's the anticipation of the first chair, the quiet ride to the summit, the rush of fresh powder, and the memories made with family and friends that stay with us long after the snow melts.
Designed in Lake Tahoe. Crafted for Mountain Homes.
From our basecamp on the east shore of Lake Tahoe, every ski map is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted in the United States using layered wood construction and traditional woodworking techniques. Every peak, trail, and ridgeline is carefully recreated to produce artwork that is intricate, timeless, and built to last for generation.
Trusted by Skiers Across North America.
We've had the privilege of creating wall art for professional athletes, ski and snowboard industry leaders, mountain homeowners, and passionate skiers across North America. Today, Torched Peaks artwork is also featured in more than 25 boutique retailers and premier design showrooms, where it's experienced in person before finding its way into homes throughout the continent.
Inspired by the Mountains We Love.
In a world filled with mass-produced décor and disposable products, we set out to create something more meaningful—original mountain artwork that honors the places that shape our lives. Every Torched Peaks ski map is designed not simply to decorate a wall, but to preserve a story, celebrate a favorite mountain, and become part of the home where new memories are made.

Shawn Orecchio
FOUNDER | MAP ARTIST
Shawn's passion for mountains began in 1984 when he was first introduced to the sport of snowboarding. After a stint riding professionally and traveling to resorts from coast-to-coast, Shawn landed in the ski industry and was responsible for designing ski trails, terrain parks, bike parks, and later launched mountain inspired brands and special events. His career path and passion for the mountain lifestyle was a natural progression and a perfect catalyst... the concept for 3D Ski Trail maps and Torched Peaks was born.
ABOUT THE ART // A Labor of love.
CARTOGRAPHY.
Each ski map is digitally rendered by our artists by analyzing topographic maps, satellite imagery, and aerial photography.
SKI MAP DESIGN.
Ski trails, chairlifts, statistics, and other artistic elements are digitally rendered then precision engraved into multiple wooden layers.
Ski Wall Art Reimagined.
While every piece begins with cartography, the goal has always been larger than navigation. Our work transforms ski resorts into handcrafted wall art designed to celebrate the mountains that shape our lives.
HANDCRAFTED.
Each map is carefully hand-assembled, glued, and placed into a sturdy, natural wood frame.
More Than a Ski Map.
Our work blends cartography and craftsmanship to create ski resort wall art that captures the character of each mountain. Designed for skiers, snowboarders, mountain homes, and ski cabins, every piece celebrates the places that continue to call us back.
