They have been doing this for a while.


I did it like 5+ years back. They gave us a google street view camera/rig we put on a snowmobile and just center punched every run we could.

It was spring at ops managers were not really doing much. I think it only look 2 days maybe?


But seems like most major resorts have it set up on google these days. At least when I’m on google maps you see layouts of most places.

I like it but do they really have the ability to do every run at a resort? Seems like difficulty would become a limiting factor

Pretty sure they are working with Silicon Valley on creating a virtual reality ski resort so you can throw dubs while sitting on the couch getting fat.
