Thanks to the 13 mappers that voted on the platform, I got this reply:

However, we decided against it at that time because it would require more development effort to render the map, and that its coverage of major commercial resorts was sporadic.

So now we have feedback that it's not nonsense to map ski pists at all

Thanks again for your collaboration!
