Just spotted this on the Google homepage:
http://www.google.com/help/maps/streetview/gallery/#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=hpp&utm_source=en-hpp-na-us-gns-svn
It says:
<< Go beyond the streets to ski slopes, new in Street View. >>
Is it new? |
Yep, it's new. Announced earlier today, here's the blog post: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/vancouver-forecast-light-winds.html |

News article translated to English:
