"Google has announced today that ski run and chairlift maps for 38 resorts have been added to Google Maps, helping you ditch the paper handout from the chalet and navigate your way around the mountain with a little more ease.\r\n\r\nNow, when you search for any of the new ski resorts in the Google Maps app, you\u2019ll be able to see the standardized colored runs - green for beginners, blue for intermediates, black for experts and orange for terrain parks - as well as the ski lifts as red dotted lines.\r\n\r\nIt's worth noting that all of the new maps cover popular mountains in the US and Canada, so if you're from Europe, you'll need to learn the difference in color coding.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt should make a big difference for any skier or snowboarder that doesn\u2019t want to carry around physical maps all the time, or perhaps if you\u2019re visiting a new resort which your existing maps\u00A0don\u2019t cover. However, even if you\u2019re a die-hard paper map enthusiast, it never hurts to have a digital backup, just in case.\r\n\r\nThe full list of new mountain maps available for Google Maps are as follows:\r\n\r\n\tAlpine Meadows - CO\r\n\tAlyeska Resort - AK\r\n\tAspen Highlands - CO\r\n\tAspen Mountain - CO\r\n\tAttitash Mountain Resort - NH\r\n\tBig Sky Resort - MT\r\n\tBig White Ski Resort - BC\r\n\tBreckenridge Ski Resort - CO\r\n\tBrighton - UT\r\n\tButtermilk - CO\r\n\tCopper Mountain - CO\r\n\tCrested Butte Mountain Resort - CO\r\n\tDeer Valley Resort - UT\r\n\tGranite Gorge - NH\r\n\tHeavenly Mountain Resort - CA\r\n\tJackson Hole Mountain Resort - WY\r\n\tLake Louise Ski Area - AB\r\n\tMammoth Mountain - CA\r\n\tMount Bachelor - OR\r\n\tMount Shasta - CA\r\n\tOkemo Mountain Resort - VT\r\n\tPanorama Mountain Village - BC\r\n\tPark City Mountain Resort - UT\r\n\tRevelstoke Mountain Resort - BC\r\n\tSchweitzer Mountain Resort - ID\r\n\tSierra-at-Tahoe Resort - CA\r\n\tSnowbasin - UT\r\n\tSnowmass - CO\r\n\tSquaw Valley - CA\r\n\tSteamboat Ski Resort - CO\r\n\tStowe Mountain Resort - VT\r\n\tSugar Bowl Resort - CA\r\n\tSun Valley Resort - ID\r\n\tTelluride Ski Resort - CO\r\n\tVail Mountain - CO\r\n\tWhistler Blackcomb - BC\r\n\tWildcat Mountain - NH\r\n\tWinter Park Resort - CO\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s also worth noting that this data is available through Google Maps on the browser, so that if you\u2019re planning a trip - or just want to see what the run offering is like at any given resort - it\u2019s possible to do it from the comfort of your own home.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s even possible to get a Street View preview of a few specific slopes before you grab your gear and head for the nearest gondola.\r\n\r\nImage Credit: MIKHAIL MORDASOV/AFP/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
