Tweet this!And how about to compliment a great powder day at Big Sky with a bottle of wine? Good deals on the site… Hmm…I never thought of using Twitter to find discounted lift tickets. Check it out… Another one. Hey plenty of ski deals in Montana… Dine almost 7000 feet high in the moonlit sky [...]
Tweet this!Let’s admit it: lift ticket prices hurt our wallets. We pay them because skiing/snowboarding is addicting. And to get our fix, we will pay any price just to enjoy outdoors and great conditions. Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn’t dump fresh snow every single day during a ski season. It is not unusual to see rain, sleet or [...]
Tweet this!Sometime ago we worked on an interactive ski map application that would allow users to tag and upload ski photos and videos. While our application was starved to death by an empty checking account, I keep tracing similar applications and really love what Alpine Meadows did with their ski map. It is visually appealing Has [...]
Tweet this!Alta is not only known as one of the oldest ski resorts in the U.S. with an average snowfall of 500+ inches per season, it is also one of three remaining ski resorts in America that prohibits snowboarders from shredding its terrain. And so I was somewhat surprised to find snowboard related posts on Alta’s Facebook wall. [...]
Tweet this!(Updated 5:00pm. 01/12/2011) New York is bracing for another blizzard. Accuweather.com reports that a possible snow storm can dump as much as a foot of snow along the I-95 corridor. While it might not be a good news for New Yorkers – though it is feels pretty good to spend an extra day at [...]
Tweet this!We are ready to roll out a pretty interesting application which could save you about 50% off a lift ticket. Here is a quick poll: How much would you pay to get a heavily discounted lift ticket?
Tweet this!Typically you can easily spot non-locals: they dress, talk, walk and often times ski differently. Ever tried to ski during the holidays? Remember that guy who could not get off a ski lift? Or that clueless skier who “pizza pie-ed” your perfect turn? Or that dude rocking old jeans tucked into ski boots? [...]
Tweet this!Whistler Blackcomb XXS displays some interesting video techniques, tilt-shift is just one of them, that make it a stand out in a crowded space of promotional ski movies. Since this video was re-posted, re-tweeted and re-blogged all over the web, I decided to add some value by checking social media stats and trends for [...]
Tweet this!I can’t say much about these ski pants – they look all right from an aesthetic perspective. Ralph Lauren says that the pants are waterproof, breathable and featuring Recco avalanche rescue system as well as many other bells and whistles. It is all nice and dandy but I am not sure about the “snowboardnator” image projected by [...]
Tweet this!It hurts to pay up to $85 – on the East coast – for a weekend or holiday ski lift tickets. And even if you ski Monday through Friday, you can still pay through your nose as many ski resorts don’t offer significant price discounts. So what can you do? If you work in [...]
Tweet this!Here is the latest round of twitts from the East coast. It was said many times: Mother natures is fickle.
Tweet this!This is it: the year 2011 is 10 hours away. This is the year of the Rabbit and according to the Chinese zodiac, and some shady looking web sites, it should be slow and quiet. And while an unhurried pace might suit some folks, vertexpress.com will pick up speed. Here is what we have on our [...]
Tweet this!It is a cold fact: Facebook surpassed Google as the most visited website in the United States. You might not like certain things about FB – the “Like” button goes here -but you can find plenty of interesting information on Facebook’s walls. So I decided to poke around and scrape off some of that [...]
Tweet this!It looks like the Mad River Glen day today. But I thought this post will help balance things up (see a snowboarder’s day at MRG.) The full trip report is posted on http://timefortuckerman.com; so check it out, I am sure you will appreciate a skier’s perspective – and a sense of humor – on the [...]
Tweet this!According to myfoxboston.com about 200 people were evacuated from a lift after the lift had mechanical problems. The Challenger lift at the West Dover resort broke down about 11 a.m. Wednesday. I could not find any official info on the Mount Snow’s website or Twitter (as of 11:45am.); but it appears that everything was resolved and nobody [...]
