United this week unveiled a new aircraft livery meant to celebrate its mountain destinations.

The design, known as “Mountain Ascent,” was applied to an Embraer E175. It depicts sloping green valleys, evergreens, and snow-capped mountains.

The airline said the E175 will be flying into “mountain airports” this ski season, but did not provide exact destinations.
