Click on the little person icon and the trails that have been mapped will highlight. I know Wildcat, Attitash, and Stowe have been mapped, not sure which others. Not all trails have been mapped, I think they took the camera around on a snowmobile which may have limited their access.

I wonder if the above works. I "snowmobiled" around til I found this shot of somebody taking a photo of the Google mobile with his cell phone..

I try to run the skiers over but they all get away!.. damm.

I think I found the ski lodge... Let me try to see if I can get to the ice cream stand.... wait.. damm, I want to go to the lodge.. arrgh....

Burke Mtn VT, and Wachusett Mtn MA have them too. If you think those are cool, check out the ski areas that are out west too. I'm looking at Snowbird, UT right now.

Anyone else notice the frequent horizontal distortions that show up as black lines in the snow? There is one just uphill slightly of the image in Jay's link.

Topo lines? I thought they might of been those directional arrows like they use for the street view (on roads) but then I saw the white carots which you can use to move. It might be indicators of how steep the terrain is, like topo lines? I dunno.. I was too busy trying to run over the skiers...

Snowmobile were used in the compiling of the trail pictures. For the "Official" Press Release see the following link

See you on the trail....Walker
