Ski Tracks will save a .gpx file, and/or two other formats and email 
them to you or display them on your phone with whatever you use to 
display .gpx files.  If you have wifi access while you're tracking it 
will show it on a google-earth-like display.  No topo display, though. 
Is there a topo map app that will accept .gpx files?

Start.  Stop.  Save.  Share.
