I added Cerro Catedral (aka Bariloche), and Chapelco in Argentina. I also rearranged the ordering of them so if you put it in Tour mode, the Southern Hemisphere ski areas will be arranged from South to North in each region.
Once I get enough Southern Hemisphere resorts I’ll go back to making at for the Northern [...]

Some users were having a problem where my Superoverlays for Google Earth were coming out black. I woke up 2 hours before I usually wake up this morning, and as I was drifting back to sleep it came to me.
I wanted the Superoverlays to be semi-transparent for ski areas where I only have the slope [...]

I fixed a few bugs in my kml-generating code, and also uploaded the superoverlay package for Arapahoe Basin, which I had apparently forgotten somehow.
I think everything will load more smoothly now. I was having trouble getting the highest resolution tiles to load, but I fiddled with some kml parameters and that seems to have fixed [...]

The data for Portillo has some holes in it, but it’s a pretty spectacular place anyway, and the holes don’t detract too much. Cerro Castor in Tierra del Fuego is the southernmost ski resort in the world, and they have a well-done Flash website with a relaxing music loop.

I figure I should hit as many of Southern Hemisphere ski resorts before the end of Winter down there, so some other stuff might be delayed. And I’m doing these a little quickly, so I don’t know if I’m getting boundaries of the ski areas neatly the way I have been able to in the [...]

Heading down to the Andes with El Colorado Centro de Ski in Chile and Las Leñas in Argentina. There’s at least one hole in the Las Leñas data, which you can see as a kind of black and white rectangle on the steepest part of one of the peaks.
There’s a lot going on at El [...]

Buller and Hotham, a couple of nice looking resorts in Victoria, using the SRTM 90 meter data. I’ve added the color scale, copyright and trademark to each of the Australian overlays.

Again, I’m using the SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) data for areas outside the US. Too bad other countries don’t have free geophysical data like the US. SRTM data covers the globe, but it’s on 90 meter postings, so it’s pretty crude. Yeah, I keep complaining about it, but think of it as a disclaimer.
I [...]

Someone suggested Tuckerman Ravine in New Hampshire. Not very big but pretty extreme, and apparently the prevailing weather patterns give good snow in the ravine at the expense of snow on the mountain. This is just in a Google Earth Superoverlay so far, but I’ll go ahead and give it the full treatment later.

So I did Whistler, you might be thinking I’m going to do Blackcomb, but instead I did Shymbulak in Kazakhstan, also known as Chimbulak. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, but the data is just so bad, I think it’s 90 meters between posts. Still, it’s kind of interesting. Strange thing is, [...]
