Ski Touring GPS Tracks

For a year now I've had the MotionX-GPS app for my iPhone and I'm finally starting to play around with it.  The app has the ability of importing existing GPX tracks.  I have seen some people post images of their GPS tracks in their trip reports so I know they exist. 

My question is: does anyone knows of a clearing house for tracks specific to ski touring (and specifically to the PNW)? 

Ideally, I would like to import a track into my phone prior to the ski tour, as a back up when visibility deteriorates or (worse) I get lost.  Hmmm....this could even be a project within the TAY site?

Perhaps this is an old topic but I did not see anything current.

I don't know of any published tracks, but you can pretty quickly create a .gpx with hillmap.com (or other online resources) that can be (tediously) uploaded to your phone. I also use the Motion-X app and cannot understand why you can not upload/dowload directly from the app, which used a clunky email interface.

Thanks for the tip on hillmap.com. That's a great website. The only thing missing is a help or faq page.

Instead of the email uploads, you can also drag and drop the files into iTunes.

Drawing tracks in Google Earth, saving them as KML, then exporting them to GPS using GPSBabel is fast and painless.
I have used it on many occasions over the last few years with great results.

I sometime post my GPS tracks with my slideshows, similar to this:

I have checked several tracks sharing sites over the years but found them hard to use and in the end not very useful.
If you find something good, let me know. I will give it a try.

Also I remember a post here a while ago where someone drew KML tracks for all the ski routes listed in 100 Classic Backcountry Ski & Snowboard Routes in Washington by Rainer Burgdorfer. Might be the stuff you are looking for.

This one - Hiking and Skiing Maps ?

I'm the author of hillmap...a help or faq page will happen at some point but I keep adding and refining features and then going skiing to test them instead of documenting them so it may not happen until the site settles a bit. I do try and post some info at blog.hillmap.com as I make changes.

If you have any specific questions email or PM me.

I'm trying to make hillmap really easy to use for gpx sharing...it requires a modern browser (chrome, firefox) but you can just drag a gpx file onto the window, hit the link button (little picture of a chain) and post that in a tr. I also generate html iframe code if you want to embed a map in your website or blog though it won't work with forums without some tweaks to the forum software I think.
