TRAIL MAP
Trail Map is an interpretation of the luxurious universe in wintry environments captured by the lens of Slim Aarons, as well as the complexity of the maps present in the ski resorts - the labyrinthine alignment of the itinerary of each attraction.
It’s a temporary landmark that ends in the 80's, focusing on family trips to the Resorts. It is not focused only on the natural environment, but also in the temporary imposition of a city atmosphere. Mixing several elements, showing all the lightness of the iciest environment and the stillness that it conveys.
Trail Map portrays a certain elite in moments of leisure - the interaction between a group of people in periods of joy, pure fun and relaxation. Their jokes and their snow games, enjoying the uniqueness of this time.
