Similar to Google's street view, get ready for the snowmobile view from Google as part of their Olympic coverage.

Cool! I can even get to the top of The Peak chair lift, although it doesn't let me ski down the Whistler Bowl

The Google map pictures of this mountain is amazing.

I can actually see individual skier skiing down the hill.

I guess Whistler Bowl (and all the other gnarly places to ski) will have to wait for a skier burly enough to strap that multi-view camera to his or her back. Or the technology for a smaller camera.

Definitely a fun idea but it could take some of the excitement of a first time visit to a ski area. For me I'd say best used in moderation .
