I added Les Trois Vallées, France. It’s a very large ski area complex, with many, many lifts, so it’s going to take a while to get all those in. As a compromise, I put the major towns and peaks on there, after their official trail map. At least those give some sense of location.

Took less than an hour to add Mammoth, but then I already had a batch of elevation maps I downloaded. But still, adding it to the website had speeded up considerably.
