Actually OSM does gather data about ski trails. They're just not displayed on default renderer.

See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Piste_Maps

And something from the area you posted: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/216074683

That's awesome - I normally wear glasses and I wear contacts to ski and I'm now getting to an age where reading ski maps with my contacts in is getting to be a problem.

It has the huge ski areas in the Alps - I noticed the new "Vertical Experience" run at Meribel in the 3V which I'll need to add to the To Do list.
