On the website http://www.plandespistes.nl you can find skiareas in 3D in Google Earth and/or Google Maps. Many famous resorts, like Alpe d'Huez, Les Deux Alpes, La Plagne, Les Arcs, Le Grand Massif, Val Thorens, Pra Loup and La Rosiere are online, and others will follow soon. Especially if you use Google Earth (or the Google Earth Plugin) it is fun to have a 3D look at your skiarea.
Please note that the loadingtime of the lifts and runs can take a few seconds, depending the size of the area and your connection.

There are some areas that have difficult piste maps, eg the schiwelt. Relief piste maps can improve on the standard maps.

I've tried using map overlays of piste maps but getting the perspective right was pretty much impossible. Seeing a piste map on 3D terrain is fantastic- especially if you `fly` down the runs. I'll definitely be checking this out when I get home- saved me a lot of work!

I really still do not see the point unless you are carrying a GPS unit to down load ski kilometres.
