Google earth just made it easier to pick your lines. The wasatch is currently imaged with a strip of snow making it easier to pick your lines. Check it!

Nice! Looks like spring. I've skied the cone!
I have not skied the cone yet but the lines off from the south are great, I think it is Millville peak, or Mendon peak.
That's a nice looking fracture line on the right side of that picture.
Not looking closer, but at first glance that looks more like a glide crack to me....Quote:

Areas of Longs Peak in CO have some super high res stuff...
I love that stuff man, I took remote sensing as a class for my major in college, one of the few I did well in.
by the way, google earth v4 was just released, now working on Linux too:
