I saw this on the SR Message Board. Someone put together a layer of ski areas for Google Earth. You can now quickly visit different ski areas to do fly-overs:

WOW, a lot of work there. I gave up on mine after loosing a bunch when Google Earth crashed. It wasn't anywhere near as involved as the one you posted either. The thing I like more about the one that I was doing is that is is easily sorted by State. Here's the link if anyone is interested:

Eh, maybe I will if I get any time. I just got discouraged when I lost about 10 areas after Google Earth crashed. It took me a long time too because I'm not very scientific about it. I just go to the general area of a ski mountain and then scroll around until I find what looks like ski trails. I'd been using the AZ list of resorts to make sure I got them all...
Checked them out today for the first time in awhile and they had some updates for the first time that I have seen. A few new areas look to be in a higher res. I wish they would update the year that they were taken.

It's about 2 years old since the shopping plaza down the street from me was torn down, but listed when searching my condo.
I think google said it was more like 4 years old..time for an update.RIDEr said:

fboweb.com now offers flight tracking on google earth with only 1 minute updates. Very cool. If you have trouble with the downloaded tracking file, just change the extension to .kml. Enjoy!!!!! I'm tracking my wife's family's progress back to Norway as we speak.
If you don't have a particular flight to track and want to check it out you can click on this link and pick an airport (They have Logan and JFK) to download the inbound traffic file.

Parts of Chittenden County, Vermont were also included in the latest update...now I'm trying to figure out exactly when the picture was taken and whether or not my car is in the lot at work...

Me too. There is a car that is the right color in the spot where I normally park, but I'm not sure if it's mine because I only work a few months a year.

Wow! Those images are great! We should start placemarking some spots...Greg is there an easy way to integrate Bviberts and your ski info page to G.E.?

I'm sitting here wondering why I'm having trouble finding Wildcat. Have you ever typed wildcat into the business area of G.E. while zoomed around the MWV? They got it all wrong....at least from what I can remember.
