    Google earth with snow!!

    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!

    Wellsville cone with visible glide cracks.

    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.

    Not looking closer, but at first glance that looks more like a glide crack to me....

    I've been convinced for a while that one of the data preparers for Google Earth is a backcountry skier. The choice of non-urban areas in CA that have higher resolution is pretty suspicious. Pear lake, Bloody and Laurel mountains (and some of Mammoth), Tioga Pass and Saddlebag lake to Conness and Llake Tahoe has an early spring snow cover image covering most of it.

    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.
