Google Street View Comes to the Ski Slopes



Google is really pushing to expand Street View off of the streets. First they talk about Google Store View, and now the Google Snowmobile is mapping ski trails.

The new mapped trails are all in Vancouver at Whistler, the site of the Olympic games. Since the tie-in is with next week's games, I wouldn't expect Google to rush out and suddenly map a bunch of other areas. But still, it's pretty cool to be able to virtually tear down some of those awesome-looking runs. [Google Blog]
