Thanks to Google maps, comparing geographical area has become feasible, fast and easy. I just tried it this morning by comparing two small ski towns that are dear to my heart: Morzine in France and Park City in Utah.
Both cover about the same area, with Park City being the largest at 18 square miles vs. 17 for Morzine. At 2,908, the French ski town has a far smaller permanent population than Park City that boast 7,558 people. Even though Park City's elevation ranges from 6,700 to 9998 feet, it's much flatter than Morzine which lowest point is around 2,900 feet while its highest peaks soars at almost 8,100 feet...
Aren't those interesting tidbits?
