3dSkiMaps 3dSkiMaps Events and Updates 2010-10-19T17:47:17Z WordPress http://3dskimaps.com/blog/feed/atom/ Dale http://3dskimaps.com <![CDATA[3dSkiMaps Is Up Again]]> http://3dskimaps.com/blog/2010/10/19/3dskimaps-is-up-again/ 2010-10-19T17:47:17Z 2010-10-19T17:47:17Z Had a hard drive crash and lost a lot of new artwork, then neglected 3dSkiMaps for almost two years! Meanwhile it was still running until sometime this year when my ISP changed server settings, apparently.

So now it’s back and I’m back, and I’ve got everything working again, and also a new 3dSkiMaps mobile web app.

Dale http://3dskimaps.com <![CDATA[Added Karakol Ski Base, Kygyz Republic]]> http://3dskimaps.com/blog/2009/02/07/added-karakol-ski-base-kygyz-republic/ 2009-02-07T21:06:30Z 2009-02-07T21:06:30Z This is a nice looking ski area in Kyrgystan, aka Kyrgizia (Киргизия) or Kyrgyz Republic. The nearby lake, Yssyk Kol, give it the feel of another Tahoe, though this lake is about 5 times as long and wide as Lake Tahoe.

I included the Bowl, even though it isn’t really part of the ski base. But I’ll bet they have some way to get you up there.

Another very large area, with too many lifts to consider adding at this time.

Dale http://3dskimaps.com <![CDATA[Added Les Trois Vallées Ski Area, France]]> http://3dskimaps.com/blog/?p=153 2009-01-28T05:50:05Z 2009-01-28T05:50:05Z I added Les Trois Vallées, France. It’s a very large ski area complex, with many, many lifts, so it’s going to take a while to get all those in. As a compromise, I put the major towns and peaks on there, after their official trail map. At least those give some sense of location.

Dale http://3dskimaps.com <![CDATA[Tried adding Malam Jabba, Pakistan, and Gulmarg, India]]> http://3dskimaps.com/blog/?p=151 2009-01-26T05:58:07Z 2009-01-26T05:58:07Z I tried adding Malam Jabba, Pakistan, but there some huge holes in the data, so that’s out. So then I tried Gulmarg, India. The data was much better but there was one hole right in the middle of the face of the mountain and my slope algorithm was unable to handle it, made a big streak down half the mountain. So I’ll see if I can fix that.

Meanwhile, I’m working on Les Trois Vallées, France.

Dale http://3dskimaps.com <![CDATA[Added Dizin Ski Area, Iran, with lifts]]> http://3dskimaps.com/blog/?p=147 2009-01-28T05:52:03Z 2009-01-25T08:04:10Z I added Dizin, the best known ski area in Iran complete with lifts. The latest imagery on Google Earth looks like 1 meter resolution for Iran, so it was easy to pick out the lift lines.

The elevation data is pretty bad, though, I guess it’s on 30 meter postings, so you can see the pixels. I recently did Zermatt, Switzerland, and I didn’t check but it must have been on 15 or 20 meter postings, because it was finer than Iran, but not as good as the US.

Since I figured out the bug preventing resorts outside the US and Canada from showing up correctly, I redid the ordering so now North America comes up first, and then the rest of the world. For the Summer I’ll make it where the Southern Hemisphere takes precedence. Might have to do some kind of preferences cookie, too.

Dale http://3dskimaps.com <![CDATA[Fixed the forum and added a page with a contact form]]> http://3dskimaps.com/blog/?p=142 2009-01-24T07:16:36Z 2009-01-24T07:16:36Z Somebody had to contact me through my blog because I had somehow messed up the forum and didn’t have a contact page. So now I’ve fixed the forum so you can actually post to it, and added a contact form if you have any questions or comments.

I looked into importing posts from the old forum, but it was going to take more time that I felt it was worth.

Dale http://3dskimaps.com <![CDATA[Added Zermatt, Switzerland with Ski Lifts!]]> http://3dskimaps.com/blog/?p=127 2009-01-23T07:13:25Z 2009-01-23T07:13:25Z I finally put a European resort in my stable. It’s still just the 30 meter data, but it’s better than nothing. For some reason I had to fiddle with the positioning to get it to work, and even then some of the areas in the “back” don’t fit together. But those are non-ski areas so it’s not so bad.

Also, I fixed a long standing bug I didn’t even knew existed. I’ve been grouping all North American resorts into one top level category, but for those outside of this area I put them into their own country, and then select by name. When I went to a URL redirection scheme over the Summer, I didn’t take the extra level into account so none of the non-North American areas would have been available, if I had made them available outside of the Google Earth Plugin page. Since I wasn’t doing that, I never knew I had the bug.
