This overlay shows lift and piste information from the Scottish Ski areas. The full overlay includes historical information, un-built proposals and fantasy improvements. Updates are made when lift infrastructure changes, when I gain access to new historical information or spot something new while out and about. So please come back from time to time to check for updates. If you want to download the areas as separate .kmz files, please visit the ski centre pages linked above. This overlay is licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) licence, so feel free to edit and create your own derivatives.
Disclaimer
I try to keep these overlays up to date and like to think that they are reasonably accurate. However, please do not assume that I have gotten everything in these overlays correct and always believe what is in front of your eyes when going down a ski run. Please do not follow my routes over a cliff! The only significant inaccuracies are in the Nevis back corries, for which I do not have GPS traces and there are no obvious terrain features to allow for accurate run mapping.

Note: It used to be possible to view these overlays directly in Google Maps on a web browser simply by clicking a link. However, Google have now disabled this capability and require you to import the KMZ file into your Google account before it can be displayed. There is a 3rd party tutorial which describes how to do this.
