Google Maps has added a number of ski resorts and rural parts of Canada to its library.

In a blog post on Wednesday, the company announced that users can now tour more than 90 ski resorts from around the world using its Street View feature. Far northern regions of Canada, including Cambridge Bay, are also available for virtual browsing.

The included resorts are in Europe (Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Italy and Spain), the U.S. (Utah and Michigan) and Canada (British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.) Pictured below is a shot from the Sölden ski resort in Tyrol, Austria.

One important thing to note, the company adds, is that the views won't necessarily reflect the current conditions of the parks -- but, if you're curious about just how much snowfall a certain resort has, you can always check their website.

Are there any parts of the world you'd like to see added to Google Maps? Let us know below.
