OpenStreetMap
It is winter in the northern hemisphere - so it is time to map winter sport trails.
The project OpenPisteMap defines all features you need, but it only renders alpine ski features. Therefore I started my project XC Ski Trail Map.
It visualize all ways and relations with the piste:type=nordic tag as a vector overlay with OpenLaysers.
I use Googles Terrain Map as standard backgroud, because we do not have such light map with hillshading now. But you may switch to OSM-maps (without terrain)
Website (english): http://osm.virtuelle-loipe.de/loipemap
Wiki (only german yet): osm.wiki/User:Langl%C3%A4ufer/Loipemap
In the wiki you find hint for tagging xc-ski trail - I used the features from PisteMap combined with some general tags and a bit from hikingmap.
The ways a tagged for modelling the physical way. (this is also rendered in Osmarender)
way:
piste:type=nordic
Relations are used for (marked) courses. (this is not a collection it is like a bicycle route - you may want to follow the whole track)
relation:
type=route
route=ski
piste:type=nordic

Hi,
I've mapping out my local trails here:
There seems to be a contention between the difficulty colouration, we seem to use green for 'easy' (where you use blue) and blue for 'intermediate' (you use red).

Yes, there are different colors in use in europe, japan and america.
See osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Piste_Maps#Difficulty

So is it possible to render differently depending on locale?

For hillshading of any OSM-style map, you can use the hillshading tiles of hikebikemap.de (and also the flat hikebike layer if you want).

Not yet, but I think I insert an option-box to choose.

Oh thanks. I did not notice this map before. very nice. This is the right style. I have to try out if one can differentiate between the renderd cycleways and the overlayed trails.
Are you the author of this map?
