What is the best way to map cross country ski trails that are also open for hiking in the summer? I just mapped an area with ski trails, tagging the lines as follows:
path=hiking
piste:grooming=classic
piste:type=nordic
They are primarily shown as cross country ski trails in the ID editor. That seems fitting since most of the year is winter. Thanks for any input to help me tag this accurately.
For the hiking part, I’d normally use:
highway=path
foot=yes|designated
surface=ground|unpaved
Also if bicycles and/or equestrian use is allowed, add those tags.
But basically you have the right idea and since the winter sports tagging has no conflict with the summer sports tagging you can put both on the way.
I agree with @n76 , and it would be super helpful if you can add as many other path related tags as possible, such as smoothness, sac_scale, width, visibility, etc.
You can also add piste:difficulty=* if you’re skiing yourself , and why not a route=piste relation if say, the ski piste is trailblazed with a color.
It shows on opensnowmap this morning OpenSnowMap.org
Thank you! That is very helpful.
