Google will be bringing you the Street View feature all the way from Whistler Mountain, which comprises of "a range of rugged mountains, trails of snow, fir trees and placid lakes below." Doesn't it just boggle the mind as to Google's ability to gather imagery at 7,000 feet above sea level? This was made possible thanks to a snowmobile decked out with cameras that are capable of capturing slope-level imagery of several runs on Whistler Blackcomb Mountains. Apart from that, you will be able to enjoy 3D models and Street View imagery of all the competition venues at the Winter Olympics, alongside new aerial imagery of the Vancouver-Whistler area. Those pretty images just pique one's interest to take a vacation there.
