Yeah, but it would need to know snow depth, snow temperature and density, accident locations, temperature and numbers who have skied down ahead of you. Otherwise its grading might be off.

beasty1711, Go to ski school. We started skiing 3 years ago and have had 10 weeks of lessons. It is a sport where you see so many skiers that are braver than their ability and imo it is a recipe for disaster.

I did find somewhere already attempting to come up with something along these lines.
Openstreetmap.org are trying to create GPS generated maps of the whole planet available for free. One thing they seem to have recently decided to try and start adding to the maps as well is piste maps and they got part way though doing some mapping in Val Thorens before xmas except the snow cover was pretty bad as the time.

Do they fit in your pocket? Do they show where the piste has been scraped bare?
If the answer to either of these is no, then the answer to your question is no.

Sure and have they figured that you can ski in countries other than the USA?
