Off the Hill

        After a long day on the mountain its common that we skiers kick back, rest the knees and surf the web for anything ski related. Whether its looking for those goggles you saw on the slope, constantly updating the playlist or just seeing what “the pros” are doing around the world, there’s always something interesting out there. So I’ve put together a few websites that will hopefully add to that relaxing time.

        First off, everyone one loves new gear and apparel. www.SteepandCheap.com and www.WhiskeyMilitia.com, are two great sites that will bring you the best deals around. Both these sites offer a chance to buy a featured item normally around or over 50% off. Then every 20 or so minutes the item switches to an equally good or better deal. Watching these sites is actually fairly addicting, because you never know what’s going to be next.

        Secondly, you know that song you loved from that ski movie you watched earlier in the season or last year.  But, maybe you can’t remember the name or the movie. www.skimoviemusic.com brings all the songs from every ski movie ever made together. This is a great place to put together you first ski playlist or add to the epic list you’ve been shredding to as a little kid. Even if your not in-it for the music its still a good place to study your movie names and production companies. So when your buddy brings up some segment they saw in Claim three years back you can say “oh yea, matchstick made that right?” its an easy way to get credit having never seen the movie. But honestly if you haven’t seen Claim then you’re missing out on the BEST ski movie ever made.

        Finally, anyone who loves to keep tabs on the pros and see where in the world the snows snowing then head over to www.skiunion.mpora.com. They’ve got all the latest news, reviews on skis and boots, interviews, awesome pictures and even more rad videos.

        So grab a drink, sit back and enjoy the wonders that the World Wide Web brings us.
