Check Out the NEW EpicSki
February 10th, 2009 – Bozeman, Montana – EpicSki.com, the largest, most active skiing community online, has partnered with San Francisco company Huddler.com in a complete re-launch of the Internet’s home for dedicated skiers.
After nearly a decade and more than one MILLION posts from their skiing community, EpicSki has taken an important step in securing its place in the future of ski-media online.
One component of the new site launch is the “I’d Rather be EpicSkiing” contest. EpicSki is providing three pairs of lift tickets to Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine Resorts, Deer Valley, and Squaw Valley as well as two $100 gift certificates to partner Backcountry.com to winners who contribute the best quality review content on site.
So what exactly has changed in the re-launched site?
- A new look and feel: From a revamped logo to complete layout redesign of the site, EpicSki now has a fresh appearance to usher their community into the future and attract a broader audience, while providing a consistent experience and new features designed for the current loyal user base.
- Upgraded Discussion Forums: The new forums feature a modern interface and easy access to other relevant content from across the site to improve accessibility for users on site for the first time.
- Fully integrated wiki infrastructure: Deep, skiing-related content that previously spanned hundreds of conversational posts can be consolidated into informational articles that existing and new users collaborate on to ensure each piece stays up-to-date.
- Robust Product Review Functionality: EpicSki already boasts one of the largest communities of knowledgeable skiers online. Now the members have a structured means to share what they think of the gear they use and the resorts where they ski.
