Nice. There are much better, but I still like it cuz it was the first "Big" resort view driving in that left an impression on me.

Thats on OK angle but further up EM road its even better. I'm still trying to find it

The feeling from OMG corner is something... especially the 1st time you do it... but turn on to the access Rd at SL... just after the access Rd curves pretty well left at The Rack you get the full MT straight on. The pitch at that point in the access Rd requires you to lean forward while driving to see the whole MT - otherwise the summit snowfields are cut off by your vehicle's roof line. When your driving, you lean forward the entire trip up the access Rd because it is hard to believe how big the MT looks. Done it 100's of times and I still think the One Big Motha ad compaign in the 90's made sense.

So true. I am not sure why there are not more accidents on the access road as people press themselves forward to take in the whole mountain. It is an even more pronounced phenomenon on a blue bird day.
