Maybe OPM doesn't support rendering those nordic pists ?

There is this proposition :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Incline
for ways, that could be awoken.

Talk about it first, this incline feature might be usefull not only to skiers 
but also on any highway (as defined in osm)

Some have suggest on the above page that SRTM dem would make it useless, but 
the quality of SRTM has proven to be too low for that need.

Says who ? I do have a ~10m vertical precision and sometimes less when stopped 
with my Garmin 60cx.
I find it very enough for many many cases, even more than STRM models

I'm doing it as well, puting in somewhere on a way might be problematic has 
someone might mive the node along the way, but if properly tagged at a 
mountain_pass, a peak, a crossing, I would find it very usefull.
