Mountain Sports Club of North America and Shell Gas Promotion

Boulder December 28, 2006

Mountain Sports Club of North America is pleased to announce participation in the Shell Ski Free promotion. This promotional program builds on our effort to not only drive incremental skiers and snowboard visits to resorts and corresponding merchants, but to help them build a database of who these skiers and snowboarders.

By sending participants to the web to register for the valuable savings vouchers, resorts now have the name, email and mailing address of those who redeem the vouchers and visit their resort.

The marketing budget for this promotional program includes $500,000 of media, 550 Shell Stations and 1 million vouchers are being distributed throughout Idaho, Washington, Colorado and Oregon to encourage folks to go out skiing and if additional information is required go to the skifreedeals.com website. "We are pleased to collaborate with the Mountain Sports Club in providing more value for our clients in the Pacific Northwest - Estelle West, SkiFreeDeals.com".

A promotion that targets vacationing, regional weekend and destination market skiers and outdoor enthusiasts. Strong in season promotion, now with email messaging.

This program builds on existing promotions where the Mountain Sports Club membership is featured and included as part of the 4th and 5th Grade passport programs in the Pacific Northwest and Ski New Hampshire. By encouraging more participation to these target groups with incentives there is a higher likelihood of converting the users to more frequent participation in skiing and snowboarding.

The Mountain Sports Club program provides skiers and snowboarders extensive discounts and savings on lift tickets, lodging, travel, shopping and more. Members register for this new online service at www.MountainSportsClub.com.

Pre - Holiday Skiing and more snow in the Colorado Rockies

Dateline December 16 & 17, 2006

Location Copper Mountain, Colorado

You can feel that the holiday season is upon us as the resorts receive the initial wave of holiday visitors. Our family joined the march for one last weekend in the Colorado central Rockies, before the holiday rush. Copper received 5 inches of new snow yesterday and they are calling for additional snow showers the next several days. It should cover the rocks starting to show on the steeper runs and soften snow across the mountain. The local paper announced that all the Summit County resorts continue to open new and steeper terrain just in time for the holidays.

After a day on the slopes on Saturday we gathered at Endo’s in the village for après skis drinks. Given we have 3 young boys and our friends had 2 as well it was key to find a place that has pool tables, video games, foosball and room for all to enjoy. Endos is conveniently located and fits the bill. Plenty of tasty local micro brews and traditional beer from which to choose ones favorite libation.

Saturday night Copper kicked off their holiday celebration with En Fuego. This celebration included fire jugglers, torchlight parade, fireworks and a variety of entertainment in the Village. The Village environment has proven to be a huge step in creating atmosphere and ambiance at Copper. With bonfires and entertainment throughout the village it was a warm and festive atmosphere.

Sunday morning we awoke to light snow showers that softened the snow and provided a very good ski day for Sunday. We have developed a pattern of jumping on American Eagle and heading straight to Sierra Chair (S Chair) to ski Union Bowl. Today was no exception. We were greeted with soft wind blown underneath with a couple of inches of new snow on top. The back side going into Gold Digger and down to Timberline proved to be untracked after several descents down different lines in Union Bowl.

Later in the morning we made the decision to hike the 10 minutes above the chair lift to Julies Vision. The run was simply great. The initial turns were broken soft powder followed with untracked lines. One section we skied had the old debris of an earlier avalanche from control work making portions of the untracked a little stickier and trickier. While we did not make it over to Spaulding Bowl, friends of our reported it was open and spectacular skiing as well. Plenty of soft powdery snow to be had for all who venture that way.

With snow and snow showers predicted for most of the balance of the week, Copper Mountain and the Colorado Rockies are a great choice for skiing and riding this holiday vacation. There is abundant snow and terrain open for everyone.

Book your next ski vacation to Copper Mountain online with Mountain Sports Club and save.

Go to the Mountain Sports Club Travel Desk and save on your next trip to the mountains.

Continued Good Early Season Skiing and more deals for Members

Boulder, Colorado - December 14, 2006

Last weekend December 10 th, Sunday was our third weekend in a row of heading to Summit County Colorado and skiing Copper Mountain. Once again it was superb early season skiing and riding. We were able to ski and ride in Union Bowl off the Sierra Chair as if it was mid season skiing conditions. The previous week we had skied this as it was opened. It was terrific soft broken snow with easy steep bumps.

The kids were in ski and snowboard school and I must say they have done a great job with their Scooter program for juniors in making sure our three boys - 11, 9 and 6 - are having a great time and learning new skills weekly. For my wife and I it is a joy to get to ski all day with friends as well.

We stayed at a condo at the base of Super B chair in East Village from Frisco Mountain Rentals. It was a great condo with convenient locations as well.

Frisco, Copper Mountain Colorado and Thanksgiving n the Rockies

November 24, 2006

Skied the last two days at Copper Mountain in Summit County Colorado. Each day the terrain and snow was plentiful for November. A nice mix of groomers and bumps gave the us a full day of skiing. There were morning crowds at the American Flyer chair out of the base area. We found that skiing and riding off the Super B chair ensured virtually no of very small lift lines.
Here we also found a more interesting mix of terrain and conditions that were not as hard and scratchy as the center of the mountain. Each day new runs were opened offering more diversity. It was fairly busy and we skied Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day before the holiday crowds. Staying in Frisco we rented a 4 bedroom townhouse from Big Horn Rentals. It was located walking distance from downtown off 5th Street. The pool and clubhouse facility was clean and included three outdoor hot tubs, once indoor with a heated pool and sauna and steam room. We would gladly rent and stay at this unit again.

One new discovery in town was the Frisco Internet Cafe. This service I find as a necessity on many trips. The service is located adjacent and inside the Frisco Lodge on main street. At $6 an hour the connection - high speed wifi - and friendly atmosphere made this an easy to use and access stop on 2 days of my trip.

Not to be forgotten is the morning, or anytime, stop at the Butterhorn Cafe across the street from the Frisco Lodge on Main Street. This cafe has been here for almost 20 years and has wonderful baked goods, breads with a sumptuous breakfast menu.Sandwiches and more are available or lunch. This is and has continued to be one of my favorite stops in the AM or after and wanted a cup of coffee and an afternoon baked good.

More deals, skiing, riding and reviews. Happy Thanksgiving.

It is the first holiday of the winter ski and snowboard season. It was truly a dash getting the live registrations and coupons working at the Mountain Sports Club site. But with a huge effort by our partners at Premity - Jeremy and Dan, to enable this feature and more. Members have stated using the services and new members are registering daily. We wish to thank everyone for their help and support in getting this launched and ready for the holiday. There is good snow in the central Rockies and resorts opening all around the continent. Now is the time to get your gear and start making plans for trips.
Yesterday skied Arapahoe Basin and enjoyed a great Colorado Blue bird day. With the two main lifts - Exhibition and Lenawee providing top to bottom skiing, there was a surprising amount of terrain and soft snow to be skied. We spent most the day mixing it up between cruisers and soft bump runs under the Lenawee chair. I also noticed a new mid mountain lodge being built. This facility I was told would be ready to open around March 1. This coincides with the busy spring season when the Basin cranks into high gear. We will keep you updated as this facility opens. The snow conditions and variety of skiing and riding was nothing short of excellent for this time of year. There have been January's in recent memory where I had wished the snow was this good. Access was also available to the far east side of the West wall toward Pali. Lots of good snow and a great day.

The plan is to ski Copper Mountain the next 2 days we will post a review on the Copper page later this week.
