Disclosure: I am fogaphobic. My pals wanted to spend the morning in the alpine. So I traipsed along with them and suffered with lovely snow underfoot, but unable to really enjoy it due to my viz issues.

Foggy Upper Mountains
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Whistler Blackcomb Trail Map in 3D
Thursday, January 28th, 2010We have spent many years skiing these mountains, watching people struggle to comprehend the traditional paper trail maps. They can be very confusing, especially here at Whistler where we have so much terrain (over 8000 acres). Therefore when we discovered Google Earth, we knew it could become a useful tool. Now you are able to spend some time at home, before your visit, using the new 3D trail map to become familiar with the mountains, and thus be more effective in finding your way around once you are here.
