If I don't have webGL, it just shows a blank page. Would be useful to detect that and tell me to enable/upgrade - now it's just really confusing.

This is super-fun to play with.

It might be a good idea to reflect actual snow conditions, at least approximately. Of course that will get depressing, but accuracy seems in order.

Isn't loading for me, unfortunately. I'm seeing the gray "loading..." screen. Chrome 39.0.2171.71 m on Windows.

Same issue here, same browser, Windows 7.

Sorry to hear it isn't working. You can help out by sending the output of the browser console and the stats from http://webglreport.com/ to hello@piste.io

This is awesome. Thank you. You might want to add more indications, i only discovered ski mode by you mentionning it here. It would be awesome to have a direct URL for a track to easily share with friends.

Where does the name come from? My brain linked it with pastebin and I assumed it was going to be a site to show off code samples.

In French, piste (de ski) means skiing slope / skiing trail

Piste is French for ski track.
