Refresh OpenSnowMap.org mobile page

I spent a couple of hours to refresh the mobile version of Opensnowmap.org style and icons. Let me know if you like it. Maybe I’ve seen the website too often myself, but I find the new one refreshing. For the record, here was the old design:

Improved ski ressorts rendering

OpenSnowMap.org renders ski ressorts at zoom 10,11 & 12. For this, it takes either site=piste relations or landuse=winter_sports polygons, and checks what type of pistes they contain (downhill, nordic, sled,etc…) in order to display small icons next to the ressort name. Until now, these
