So that it can be used on highway=motorway? :)

And don't forget
oneway=yes
to indicate that skiing is only possible in the downhill direction or 
when mapping a one way cross country skiing piste or water skiing "ski 
lifts".

Skiing area maps are often lacking direction arrows, which makes them 
hard to read. Skiing resorts then resort to some sort of skewed 3d 
panoramic maps to show all the lifts at once, even if they physically 
can't be seen all at once, eg: http://www.rtc-krvavec.si/img/wpanorama.jpg
