Some Ski and Snowboarding News and Thoughts

While I had nothing worthy of a specific post here’s a few nuggets from recently articles, press releases and other stuff that has come our way.

  • Beer, gear and backcountry cheer: Pyramid Breweries are giving away a free trip to Squaw Valley for a winner and three friends. Contest does not appear open to Canucks. Details are here.
  • Whistler opened yesterday. Sounds like Village Gondola, red chair, green chair, Franz’s chair were all open. Check out this video for an idea of what conditions are like.
  • How is social media changing how ski resorts interact with customers? Boston.com had a good article this weekend on the changing landscape. After I read the article I checked out the North Face iPhone app mentioned, and it was pretty badass. Check out the article here.
  • Keeping with iPhone apps, I also downloaded SlopeRider after learning it appeared in the latest iPhone ad. Wasn’t a big fan of the game.
  • Jay Peak, a Vermont favourite of mine, is getting a serious upgrade. Check out the details here.
