Frozen Underground has refreshed its distinctive Central Network ski map for the 2026/27 winter season, adding 27 ski resorts to bring the illustrated network to 192 destinations. The British ski-art brand has also introduced three editions of the map, offering different sizes and levels of detail.

Created by astronomer, presenter and artist Anton Vamplew, the design depicts skiing destinations as stations on an imaginative transport network. Coloured routes cross mountains, resorts and national borders, bringing a playful approach to exploring winter sport geography.

Three editions for different spaces

The Classic edition is an A3 print featuring the full network in its familiar format. The larger Discovery edition is printed on A2 art paper and introduces additional symbols identifying mountain railways, night skiing and cross-border skiing. The Gallery edition measures 80 × 60 cm and is presented on aluminium, with further information about selected railways, skiing records, historic milestones, notable descents and cross-border ski areas.

The design invites skiers to rediscover resorts they have visited, follow routes across mountain regions and spot unfamiliar destinations. Its visual language draws inspiration from urban transport maps while incorporating features associated with skiing and mountain travel.

Artwork rooted in a love of skiing

Vamplew first launched the original ski-underground artwork in 2012. He is also known for his work as the former Blue Peter Astronomer and as a presenter at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Frozen Underground says the latest revision is the biggest update to the founding artwork since its creation.

Vamplew said that, rather than simply making the network bigger, he wanted to give people different ways to explore the same ski world, remember past ski trips and discover details they had not noticed before.
