Interesting. . . I've only skied in the US and Canada and mostly in the western 
US. Most if not all the alpine/downhill ski areas I've been to have very 
definitely marked boundaries. There are backcountry and cross country/nordic 
skiing areas I've been to where the boundaries are vague and unmarked. So to 
state "ski areas don't have explicit borders" would be incorrect in my part of 
the world. Nothing saying one has to put a landuse=winter_sports polygon around 
an area that is ill-defined, but you should do so if the area is well marked.

I am in favor of migrating the proposed piste maps page to a regular page.
