Winter Theme Game Mat for Frostgrave?

[mdauben]

Has anyone got a suggestion for a source of a winter themed gaming mat for Frostgrave?  My preference would be for a 4x4 mat and a maker in the US (or at least a maker with reasonable shipping to the US, I was looking at Terrain Mat in the UK and they wanted £120 to ship a 4x4 mat!). 

Please no suggestions on making my own mat (and I've alread got a sheet of plain white felt).  I'm quite literally years behind on painting miniatures, I simply don't have time to make my own terrain, too.   

Thanks!

I use 2 hobby store brick place mats I got at Michaels art supply for about 20$ CDN. They are not perfect but they are exactly the right size together (each is 3' by 1.5').

Check out the F.A.T Mats from Frontline Gaming. This link is to their 4'x4' Alpine mat:

75.00, includes the carrying tube

Look into Deep Cut Studios.  Excellent, quick service and very reasonable shipping from Lithuania(?).

Unfortunately at the moment, they only have some nice cobblestone street layouts or a couple of different snow/ice/tundra lay-outs (no snow cities)

I'd suggest the mouse-pad material (neoprene) as it's a fantastic material for gaming mats.  Their mats start at £32+shipping (an conversion rates right now are favorable on the pound, around $1.50).

I have several F.A.T. Mats, and I love them. One of my favorite features of the F.A.T Mat is its surface texture. I find them very pleasing to roll dice on. They make a firm, quiet surface for the dice that's still soft and smooth. They seem like a giant mouse pad, to me.

Thanks, everyone!  I'll have to check out all your suggestions.

This is what I use. Can't recommend them enough. A little big but you can always scale down the playing area or use the extra space wisely.

I'm planning on grabbing the cobblestone map. I figured by making my terrain suitably wintery, it would fit the bill nicely. I'm going to be using the Fenris Games cobblestone bases for my miniatures, with a scattering of snow

The road-layout or the full cobblestone?  They do custom stuff, and I think someone here even had one done by them.  Maybe email them and ask how much it would cost to throw a snow graphical layer on it?  Maybe worth a shot.

A recent kickstarter produced various 3' x 3' mats, I received mine today - Mat 22, which seems very suitable for Frostgrave.

Too late for the kickstarter now but he is going to stock the most popular mats in the future

Maybe Hotz Mats[url]? They accept custom orders.

If you missed the kickstarter (like I did), you can message him on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ceridesign/) and make an order. I did so and am now awaiting my 'design 22'.

Mine arrived today (#42) and I like it a lot. Lovely feel to it and the textures add a lot of visual interest. This particular one wouldn't work for a 'normal' town but the decayed look to it really works for a ruined city. Once I make more progress with terrain I'll post some pics.

Mine's just arrived - and very nice it is too!

I encountered those, and wanted a 3x3 snow mat (without 2-D rocks, etc.), but they don't make a mousepad version.
