Ski for yourself on satellite pictures of the 2010 Winter Olympic ski runs in Whistler, Canada.  The 3D view was produced by draping a KOMPSAT-2 satellite image (South Korean satellite designed with support from EADS Astrium) over a grid indicating the elevations of each point. The 3D image thus obtained, at a resolution of 1 metre, is then inserted in Google Earth Enterprise where users can visualize it interactively. This technology depicts relief very accurately.
