Just discovered the Kickstarter to help cover the commission cost for James Niehues to paint a trail map for Mad River Glen. As of this morning, already well past the target amount of $7500. Backers can choose between different versions of the finished trail map painting, unsigned or signed and framed. What's really neat is that any extra money goes to MRG via the non-profit Stark Mountain Foundation.
This is the second Kickstarter for Open Road Ski Company, which was formed a few years ago in order to make a book of Neihues trail maps a reality. That was also a roaring success.
