Bring the slopes home with our Ski the World Globe—where alpine adventure meets art. This handcrafted globe transforms the continents into detailed vintage-style ski trail maps, with snowy runs, peaks, and a whimsical chairlift that spans the Pacific Ocean. It’s a playful nod to your favorite mountain escapes and a perfect conversation piece for any winter lodge or cozy cabin.
Each globe is designed by artist and globe maker Wendy Gold, and sustainably made by hand in her USA based studio by artisan globe makers and professional wood workers, using eco-friendly materials and finishes.
Special design features include exquisite collage map art created from vintage maps, ephemera, engravings and illustrations, and our original globe design with a handcrafted wood base that allows the globe to fully spin around its axis. Because a World made by hand should tell your story, you can choose from four stained wooden base options, and add a complimentary personalized message of your words circling the North Pole. Not just a globe - your globe.
Whether you dream of powder days or simply love the après-ski aesthetic, this globe makes an unforgettable gift for skiers, mountain adventurers, and snow lovers.

• HAND PRESSED – Each globe is individually printed and hand-pressed to order in our California studio, ensuring one-of-a-kind craftsmanship in every piece.
• MAPPING OUR GLOBES – An eight-year journey led to the world’s only process for turning flat antique maps into handcrafted globes. While landforms remain true, no globe can ever be a perfect representation of the Earth. Expect slight imperfections—beautiful evidence of its handmade origin in today’s mass-produced world.
• ECO-FRIENDLY – When the world is your canvas, it should be treated with care. We craft our globes using recycled materials, non-toxic glues, and eco-conscious finishes—because the Earth isn’t just our subject, it’s our priority.
