OpenStreetMap
I was skiing at Silver Star Mountain (BC Canada) using Maemo Mapper, which downloads the OS tiles. The ski lifts were marked, and a couple of ski runs, and at higher resolution, most of the run names but not the runs themselves.
When I look with Merkaartor, I find that all the runs were added as undefined highway with "piste" attributes, but they are not being rendered to PNG tiles.
It would be nice if they were. Or is there some alternative tile URL where one can see different views into the database ? I haven't looked at how that happens, just uploaded a few roads and trails and magically they later appear :-)

At osm.org on the top right of the map is a blue button with a plus. That opens a menu for you to select other tiles. The data option is helpful as you can then click an object and look at the full information.
Several people in the community make specialised styles of the map. But it takes quite a bit of computing power to create the images, and also to host them. As such it is not appropriate or possible to have all of them on the osm.org website.
http://openpistemap.org is probably what your looking for.

Also, switching to osmarenderer (also at the plus in the top right) instead of mapnik, you get the ski runs rendered, not only the the ski lifts.

Thanks guys. Turns out I had a note about tile URLs for Osma but hadn't loaded it in Maemo Mapper. http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Tiles/tile/%0d/%d/%d.png
OpenPisteMap also works, with the contours set as a layer
