I'm due to go ski-ing over the new year and am looking for a GPS programme which will work on my axim for when I am out on the slopes.
Ideally I'm looking for it not only to tell me where/what run I'm on but time of descent, average speed etc..
I'm going to Courchevel in France so looking for a programme which will cover this area.

Failing that is there anything similar out there.

Thanks for any help. :)

I like GPSDash (http://gpsdash.com) which will give an altitude and horizontal speed histogram and allows you to scan in any graphics file and map an overlay (in a moving-map fashion; you can just use Google Earth for as the basis for a map - it doesn't come with any maps preintalled), and also save your trip for analysis / replay later.
There are about 5 other programs that do very similar things, but this works for me.

Be warned that altitude measurements may not be all that accurate; this is a limitation of GPS technology, and not any software.

There is a device you can buy specifically for skiing:

Navman makes a bunch of different models for sports including skiing:

There is sports GPS software for PPC:

By the way, you probably would need separate software with Topographic maps of the area if you just need to find the slope or where you're. OziExplorer, Memory-Map, Fugawi, all will do the trick. You can get maps from the World Map Database:
