In preparation for the Winter Olympics 2010 at the Whistler Resort, Google takes Google Maps takes street view to another level. At the top of Whistler, a snowmobile equipped with a 360 degree camera presents to you mountain view of the slopes at Whistler.
This is simply amazing. Beautiful. The idea of providing people the experience the Winter Olympics venue virtually. I'm guessing Google will take this idea and expand to other Ski Resorts. How cool would this be? Before taking a trip around the world, you will be able to experience what it's like to be up on the slopes ahead of time. Oh you, snowboarders -- calm down.

Google is sooo cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to go to Squaw Valley in Tahoe this weekend for some ski/board fun. I'll have to check G-Maps first to try to see the view!
I was watching Ski Jump today, the snow mountain view there is absolutely gorgeous!
