About the Giants Ridge topo map
Giants Ridge is a ski area in St. Louis County, Minnesota with 500 feet of vertical drop. Our Giants Ridge topo map draws the hill from U.S. Geological Survey elevation data and lays the actual ski runs and chairlifts over the contour lines, so skiers can find their favorite run on the shirt.
This design uses contour lines every 25 feet, a map about 0.8 miles across, 482 feet of relief inside the frame. Every fifth line is drawn heavier, as on a USGS quad, so the shape reads from across the room.
It makes a gift for anyone who learned to ski there, works on the patrol or the lifts, or has a season pass and a favorite chair. Choose from four styles, Topo Block, Summit Badge, Retro Peak and Minimal Fade, in navy for light shirts or cream for dark ones. Printed to order on T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, canvas prints, stickers, ornaments and more.
