October preparation - we're knee deep in snow

What a start to the season! During the past weeks the Alps has seen its first serious dump of snow (see Album of the Month) along with the USA, sparking rumours of an epic second consecutive La Niña powdersnow season (see Video of the Month) and the timing couldn't have been better for the start of the World Cup season last weekend in Sölden (picture below).
In this newsletter we take an in-depth look at the resort of Davos, take the headache out of buying a new set of skis, give you all the benefits of Alpine Billboards and Lift Posters and we’ve also provided you with a superb wallpaper for your computer. Oh...and we have a great prize giveaway too! Happy snow dreams everybody!

Viral Video of the Month↓
The attack of La Niña
image
So what’s all this I’m hearing about La Niña we hear you ask? Well, it’s a phenomenon whereby the sea surface temperature in the Eastern Central Pacific Ocean is 3-5 °C colder than normal. It causes different effects in different regions and in the 2010/11 season La Niña brought a 5-month long smile on most North American skiers' and snowboarders' faces. The movie "The attack of La Niña" captures it all and makes the trailer (including some must see crashes, a squirrel grab (that's right) and music from The Manchester Orchestra) 4 minutes very well spent!

Ski Resort Profile ↓
Davos - high quality all around
image
One of our most popular resorts with advertisers is Davos. The reason? Davos is high quality from all perspectives. The World Economic Forum thinks so too, returning every year and turning the resort into an epicentre for world leaders. Besides that, the average tourist is a high end consumer, travelling across from DACH, UK, NL and RUS. It’s not too late to miss out on this sought after market either, we have some advertising inventory still available for this coming season but these will go quickly, so if you would like further details please contact us by clicking on the link below!

All slightly overwhelming if you're just looking for new gear.
