How to make a trip book

Start with a resort, drop a few points, get a route, and leave with a poster or a share link. No account at any stage.

1. Pick a resort

Search by name — local aliases work too. Once one is selected, the same box searches the runs, lifts and places inside it.

You can also skip this step: go straight to photos, and the GPS in them finds the resort on its own.

Local aliases work too.

2. Three ways to drop a point

Run names, lift names, places. Tap a result and the point is down.

On the map

Press and hold on the map (right-click on a computer), then choose start / via / end.

Photos

Placed by the GPS in their EXIF, up to 12 at a time.

⚠️ A single tap on a run opens its details — it does not drop a point. A run has two ends, so “start from this run” is an unfinished sentence. Dropping is press-and-hold, or right-click.

A dropped point snaps to the nearest run or lift, and the app tells you how far it moved it. With nothing skiable nearby it keeps the spot you tapped, and says so.

All three ways, spelled out in one block.

3. Let the photos do it

Pick a batch and they're ordered by capture time — when you're retracing a day, the order you shot in is the order you skied in. Photos without a capture time follow the order you picked them in, and you can reorder them in the list.

Neither the photos nor the coordinates are ever uploaded. The EXIF is read in your browser and stays there.

⚠️ iPhones shoot HEIC by default, and Chrome and Firefox can't display its thumbnails (the coordinates still read fine). Export as JPG from Photos if you want to see them.

Landed, no location, shot elsewhere — counted separately.

4. Write something on each point

Every point takes a title (large) and a note (small), and can carry a photo of its own — that path ignores GPS; the photo is just this point's content.

Title up to 24 characters, note up to 140. Tap elsewhere to collapse.

Between any two points there's one more switch: I'll get across this myself. Crossing a road, taking a shuttle, walking a flat — that leg becomes a straight-line estimate, and the poster and the totals say so.

The waypoint list, each point with a title and a note

Title is the large type, note is the small — the poster keeps that order.

5. Make the line match you

Level

First time, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert

Gear

Skis, Snowboard, Freestyle

Goal

Fastest, Most vertical, Easiest, Most scenic

Hardest acceptable

Green, Blue, Red, Black, Double black, No limit

Switches

Never exceed the difficulty limit, Patrolled runs only, Avoid surface lifts, Avoid flat sections, Avoid gladed runs, Avoid moguls, Allow riding a lift down

Some of them the engine turns on for you — a snowboard implies avoiding flats and surface lifts — and it says which ones, above the result.

Where an attribute isn't tagged on a single run at this resort, its switch is greyed out with the reason: flipping it could not change any route.

The route preferences panel: level, gear, goal, hardest acceptable

It recomputes as you change them; there is no Apply button.

6. When there is no route

It doesn't stop at “no route found”. It shows which two points it broke between, the gap in metres and the drop, and names the kind of break:

Nothing skiable or rideable at this point
A preference is blocking the way
One-way only: you can get there, not back
These two sit on networks that don't connect

If a preference is what's blocking, you get a relax that one and retry button. If it's just a missing connection, you get “I'll get across this myself”.

The break card and its “Try raising the difficulty limit” button

An explanation plus one thing you can actually click.

7. Alternatives

Up to three, all drawn on the map rather than listed in a table — so you can see where each one actually goes. The bar under each is its difficulty mix, by distance.

Three alternative routes compared, each with a difficulty bar

The bars are split by distance, so three routes compare side by side.

8. What you can take away

Poster

Six templates, including a real terrain relief and an elevation line. 1080×1440 @2x · 3:4 portrait

Image set

A cover plus one image per leg, framed on that leg, with that leg's own distance and vertical. Filenames are numbered.

Caption

A ready-to-post caption that states only what was computed and what you wrote. Edit it freely.

GPX

For your watch or any other map app.

Share link

A short link that opens as a page anyone can read. No account needed.

Route card, Photo grid, Point card, Leg card, Elevation line, Terrain block

Six templates, all 1080×1440 @2x portrait.

Two things people get wrong

A share link cannot carry your photos (titles and notes do travel). To show people the pictures, use a poster or an image set.

There are no accounts, so the credential that lets you edit or delete lives only in the browser that made it. Change device and you can't edit your own trip any more — but the link keeps working.
