Google Earth has pulled out an exciting new development in the last few days.

 

Using the special snowmobile Google Street View Camera that was designed for the 2010 Olympics they have captured images from 13 top North-American Resorts. Now, users can explore some of the slopes from the comfort of their own homes and offices.

Canadian resort Whistler is one of the largest featured, and includes images of the famous Peak to Peak Gondola. You can also stroll through the village with the skiiers and see the hotels and condos you might stay at.
