Use Google Earth to check out your lines. It rocks. It works really well for most of Utah and a bunch of other places. Using Google earth and a good book like "The Chuting Gallery" has really been helpful in getting to places I probably wouldn't know about otherwise. Try it.

I check google earth before scrambles to get a basic idea of where there are unpassable cliffs, I think topos are more useful though

yeah, topozone.com is much better than google earth or avy maps at avalanchemaps.org are pretty dope, but google earth I think is a little to bland.

Google earth doesn't work great everywhere, but for the cottonwood canyons it rules. Books are great, but they don't always show you the approaches well.

yeah the resolution in Utah is great, but you can't see shit on Whistler. And it's in the summer, so kind of a problem.
