Not always, but for awhile yes. But recently, they updated the imagery to within the last 2 years (or so I think). I know this because in the batch of high res on there at the beginning of this year, I could see my old vehicle in the B-East parking lot and the snowcats parked on Top Notch. The new ones were taken once snowmaking was commenced on Roundabout.

Well, the current BEast imagery is at least 6 months old because I remember checking it out before we were up there in February.

I'll have to check my desktop computer, but I think the last time I screenshotted the old footage was Jan/Feb, so ya probably 6 months with this imagery, which is newer than 2004, but before fall 2006.

I dont know how you were able to get the views of the mountains on here, but cool. The pic of Jimney is funny because the trails are white from snow making but then total brown.
