AmericaSkiing.com Announces the First Social Networking Portal Exclusively for Skiers and Snowboarders
New social networking functionality on AmericaSkiing.com allows users to share blogs, post photos, join ski clubs, create events and more. In addition to reading resort reviews, purchasing the latest ski gear and checking out the weather conditions at your favorite hot spot, AmericaSkiing.com offers a community for skiers and snowboarders.
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) January 15, 2008 -- AmericaSkiing.com, one of the country's top skiing and snowboarding web sites, announced today its latest community feature--the first social networking portal exclusively for skiers and snowboarders at AmericaSkiing. The networking portal is the latest to capitalize on social networking as a fast and popular medium to unite people of similar interests on the World Wide Web. The site is designed to combine the networking power and capabilities of popular social networking sites, with the niche focus of people immersed in the ski/snow sports industry.
"AmericaSkiing's new feature offers a comprehensive forum for skiers and snowboarders to meet and share their experiences on and off the slopes. The cutting edge technology on the site allows winter sports lovers to create profiles, share skiing and snowboarding experiences with photos and blogs, and plan skiing and snowboarding events--it is a virtual haven for people who love snow sports," says Brian Boyd, Backcountry.com.
In addition to the wealth of skiing and snowboarding resources already available on AmericaSkiing.com, the portal features interactive capabilities including:
- Profiles: Users can create their own profile, select their favorite type of ski/snow sport, note their locations, upload images of themselves, and customize the look and feel of their homepage to reflect their individual personalities.
- Photo Section: On the photo section of the site, users can create their own trip albums and upload movies of their skiing and snowboarding adventures to share with family and friends.
- Blogs: Users can detail their passion for winter sports as well as narrate skiing or snowboarding experiences for the entire communities' enjoyment.
- Friends: Users can link to their friends and build a network of skiing/snowboarding buddies and industry professionals, similar to the "buddies" sections on other social networking sites.
- Clubs: Users receive invitations to join winter sports clubs, such as the Southeastern Pennsylvania Ski Club, where they can meet new friends to ski, snowboard or socialize with.
- Events: Users can connect with one another to promote their winter sporting events and learn more about popular local or national events.
