Introducing Google Street View virtual slope tour
Diamond Peak Ski Resort is excited to showcase the resort’s signature panoramic Lake Tahoe views via the Google Street View platform this winter.
The resort worked with Trailview Studios to map all the resort’s ski runs with high-resolution 360-degree imagery which was then integrated into Google’s interactive Street View Studio platform. The result is that anyone with an internet connection can now take a virtual tour of Diamond Peak’s ski runs on their browser or mobile device.
“Diamond Peak has always been known for it’s incredible views of Lake Tahoe and gorgeous natural scenery,” said Paul Raymore, marketing and communications manager at Diamond Peak. “So, we’re very excited to be able to share those views via Google’s Street View platform this winter. Whether you’re planning a trip to the resort or just want to see what the runs on the upper mountain look like, this technology makes it easy to take a virtual tour of the slopes and see why Diamond Peak is known as Tahoe’s hidden gem.”
“As someone who eagerly studies trail maps and webcams before every ski trip, I find the unique perspective of Google Street View to be a game changer for exploring a mountain’s nuances. How steep are the blue runs? How narrow is that cat track? Do the chair lifts have safety bars? How dense are those trees? These are the kinds of questions we aim to answer with our 360° cameras,” said Andrew Atwong, founder and photographer at Trailview Studios. “It’s been a thrill to collaborate with the Diamond Peak team to create this resource and we’re excited to share more than eight miles of Street View coverage (totaling over 1,400 panoramic images) across nearly every trail on the mountain.”
The Google Street View footage of Diamond Peak’s ski runs is now live and accessible via the Google Maps platform and application as well as on Diamond Peaks’ website. Simply search for “Diamond Peak Ski Resort” in Google Maps, then turn on the street view overlay by clicking on the little yellow person icon in the lower right-hand corner of the map (browser) or in the map details section (mobile app).
