OpenStreetMap
Finally submitted a first edit to OSM - a nordic skiing track that is groomed by scooter. (Uværsløypa (775423923)). The track is drawn based on GPS output from in field survey.
Interesting point is that neither Uværsløypa, nor the longer loop around it shows up in OSM when zooming to this area, unless I go in edit mode - then they both show up.
Question: part of the larger loop around Uværsløypa is a a path in summer. Can additional attributes be added to a section of the nordic track to show summer use?

Hello, Congratulations for your first edit! Your ski trail will display on specialized maps, like here: http://www.opensnowmap.org/index.html?zoom=16&lat=60.32423&lon=8.53598 Even if I’m a cross-country skier myself, I have to acknowledge that ski pistes are not of particular importance for the vast majority of people, hence for particular topics like ski or sea navigation, OSM ecosystem will provide another map that fit your needs!

Ah, and of course you can add highway=path to the same way to indicate summer use.

Thank you @yvecai. Although hard to understand for a cross country skier that makes sense. I will try to add another little stretch of trail and see if it shows up on the opensnowmap!
