Many thanks for the feedback !

Excellent! Some feedback:
- the terrain shading is distracting and not useful at higher zoom
levels (16+, maybe 15+)
Really ? It helps to see the slope direction, at least.
- why not show the names of the runs? (rather than having to click on them)
-> todo list updated
- the "interactive mode" button is not intuitive at all. I had no idea
it was a button until I happened to click Settings. Why not leave
interactive mode on all the time?
I'm afraid it would be more clunky, then :)
- in the mountains I looked at, the chairlift icons are often upside down...
Already in the todo list. But I find it somewhat funny, especially the
drag-lift icon :)
- could it be more obvious which is the start of each (downhill) run?
Unless there a tag on the node, it would be hard. Emphasizing each way
start node wouldn't be nice, as pistes can be made from several ways.
- would be great to have a summer/winter mode button (in summer mode,
show the mountain bike trails, hiking routes etc)
Then it's not opensnowmap anymore :)
- at low zooms (<10), it's hard to find the ski resorts - they could
be much more prominent
You're right. Maybe the yellow/blue cluster should be extended a zoom
further, and site=piste relations only be an icon with no name at z9.
- suggest changing "mapkey" to "legend" (or just "key". Or at least
put a space in it :))
-> todo list updated
- what is the "profile" button meant to do? It just gives this one tip
about clicking the interactive button...
I think this could disappear
- I find the whole "interactive" mode clunky and not intuitive. Why
not follow the established conventions of direction finding, using a
similar interface to Google Maps, Bing Maps, or hell, OSRM? It's
pretty confusing: it took me a while to work out that it's even doing
routing. All I wanted to do was click on a run to find out more about
it.
What I try to achieve is controls with left clic only. I take it that
more guidance would be appreciated.
Thing is, translations are scarce, so if I want to add a small help
text, I'm afraid that won't be that useful before a while. I'll try to
works on icon meaning first and see what I end up with.
- the "mapkey" doesn't explain what the little warning signs ( /!\ )
are for. Steepness?
piste:difficulty > easy for crosscountry
- I also see two different coloured XC trails, but I can't see
anything in the legend that explains why?
It's just the trail marking color (tag colour on the relation)
- I love the elevation profile - would be great to be able to click on
a single run/track and see the profile for it.
Should the 'interactive mode' be less clunky, I hope it's not necessary.
Normally you should be less than a few clic away of achieving this in
defining a route.
- the wiki page that is linked to to explain the colour coding of ski
runs doesn't actually explain them:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:route%3Dpiste
(Suggest you just include text descriptions, like "easy", "difficult"
etc)
There is no color coding here, it's the marking color of the piste
tagged as a relation. Good luck if you find any meaning here
:http://www.opensnowmap.org/?zoom=17&lat=47.47907&lon=15.7533&layers=&e=false&m=raster
There is 'color coding' of difficulties in the render for downhill
pistes only, it's the /!\ for crosscountry. Pistes tagged as a way are
concerned.
- would be great to use bezier smoothing on the ski runs if at all
possible - they look very sharp and jagged.
