Cross-country skiing profile for Android app

[ppete2]

I'm searching for a cross-country profile to be used in Brouter Android app, which is used by apps like Locus.
Would it be possible to develop profile and ship it with a future release of BRouter's android app?

It would have several aspects:

• enumeration of OSM way/relation tags relevant to cross-country skiing
• choosing tags that are frequent enough for involving them in the BRouter data files
• using existing tagging for marked cross-country routes
• addressing suitable ways not explicitly marked/tagged as cross-country routes.
• based on above, some profiles may be created

Plus: You would need 2 profiles: For Classic & Skating

addressing suitable ways not explicitly marked/tagged as cross-country routes.
Interesting approach. That would be: Take the ski off and hike? :)

I have meant rather many meadow, field and wood tracks, some of them marked for hiking and/or biking. They are frequently used during good snow conditions for cross-country skiing too, often with already made ski trails by already passed skiers.

Such tracks are hard to evaluate from few OSM tags.
