I have finals at school so I do my best to do stuff to do that isn't learning. Like making a high-res overlay of Jackson. Click on this here while you have Google Earth running, and look around:

Here is a listing of place names used by slope groomers on Vail Mountain. Some of them refer to geographical features, some refer to people or events of long ago. There are, of course, many more, so if you're a former or current Vail groomer then please educate me.

You guys need to check out NASA's WorldWind program. Much better than Google Earth and just as free. Allows you to view 1m b/w aerial photographs tilted (showing 3D relief) as well as 3D topo for the entire US.

Blows Google Earth out of the water... check it out.
** read the tutorial on how to use the program-- gives you all the important keyboard strokes to use.
