 Poster: A snowHead

A good effort. Bergfex is hard to beat though even it doesn't do any of the French resorts.
With Bergfex you can see the piste map, accommodations choices, resort site links and even the ski pass charges.

Some people were interested in seeing the bergfex data on a map too. Here it is, in all it's glory:
http://duncang.com/skidata/map-even-more.html
They cover France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Slovenia and this maps 1084 resorts.
Try zooming out. Eep!

This is great. OK, there's a some gaps, but seriously - props. Just the sort of thing you need when looking at cheap flights and thinking: "OK, so where could that take me?" Bookmarked and probably deserves being moved/reposted to the Resorts page and stickied so more people can make use of it. Nice one!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

If you want to add detail about the lifts in the resorts then openstreetmap has a lift data overlay that might be useful. It's not complete, even for the most popular resorts, but better than nothing, and I find it quite interesting to see the real geographic layout of pistes as opposed to the stylised presentation on most piste maps.
The open piste map data is available here normally (but currently "experiencing problems") http://www.openpistemap.org, but I think it's also available as an overlay on the standard http://www.openstreetmap.org.

FAQ
. I like using google's maps as I can fullscreen them, pan and zoom, and set the satellite and terrain overlays. They're by far my favourite way to view map data on the internet. The maps I've seen elsewhere for ski resorts either didn't have all the resorts on one map, were confused collections of amenities around a single resort or didn't show the names of the resorts without clicking on the little map marker. This one's just an easier way to see what's near what. For instance: I had no idea that the vast majority of the skiing I had done was in the south west part of the Alps (of course, this is the most popular area). I also had no idea that Val'd and Tignes were over the hill from both the Three Valleys and the Milky Way. This let me find that out. See what you can discover by having a pan around!
