Mine is MSU Alum, but it's all mountain biking so I doubt it's worth your time.

Old and slow??? Are you even 40?

I didn’t mean that in a critical way. You just look like a young guy in your skiing videos.

I've used my Strava logged "routes" to overlay on top of Google Earth images to create my own "Trail Maps".
Works great!

I am a dinosaur when it comes to modern technology and am unfamiliar with strata. I recently discovered Gaia, and it has been very useful when skiing offtrail. Are the two similar?

Gaia is awesome for topo maps, I have used that for a long time. Strava differs in that it's more of a community. You post your routes and people see everyone's activities in a "feed". Gaia might function like that as well but I'm not sure if many use it. I use Gaia for topos and strava to record routes and see what everyone is up to

I use the paid version during mountain bike season. I would use it skiing, but they haven't activated the "help, I've fallen and can't get up" function!
