Piste turns footage into geometry.
Action-camera files contain a high-frequency stream of GPS, accelerometer, and gyro data sitting alongside the video. Piste reads that telemetry directly in your browser, smooths it on the server, and matches it against a global resort dataset. The output is structured, spatial, and queryable.
What it is
A telemetry pipeline (extract → smooth → segment → match → aggregate), a REST API, a GeoJSON data surface, and a Model Context Protocol server. There's also a consumer-facing app at /app that exposes a friendlier face of the same dataset — sessions, runs, leaderboards, video clips with overlays.
What it isn't
- — It isn't a Strava clone. The leaderboard exists, but the artifact is the dataset.
- — It isn't a video host. We only touch a video file once you choose to clip it.
- — It isn't AI-generated terrain. Trails come from OpenSkiMap and on-snow telemetry.
Studio
Piste is built by Alpenware, a small studio shipping precise, technical surfaces for spatial domains. Sister projects: NewSpace (orbital launch telemetry) and Topoloski (alpine routes).
