Google Earth Skiing-

So after browsing Google Earth 4 awhile today i found this-

Can anyone else find some sweet jumps or Big Mountain Lines on Google earth and post them up here through our Summer Bordom? This could become a good thread if everyone joins in.

You could use the "FIND PARKS" function on Mysnowparks.com... It uses Google Maps with most resorts with parks already added to the map..

looks sweet, theres a company in europe who do that, you carry a gps arround with you for a week then get a map of the ski resort and everywhere you skied, and interesting data, its also uploaded to the internet continually so friends and family can see where your skiing, just make sure you turn it off when you tell your girlfriend you'll meat her a 5pm and your still in the bar at 6 (oops)

Sorta of topic but google earth has something called google sky. Basically its looking at other planets and stars sorta the opposite of google earth.

I just found this new one that kicks google sky's ass back to Earth called World Wide Telescope from Microsoft.

http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/

Free to download and really fun to mess around, just click experience it to get to the download.
