Press Release:

FOR NEW AND RETURNING SKIIERS, SNOWLIST.COM

OFFERS SKI GEAR AT THE RIGHT PRICE: FREE


Utah, 3/11/08—Snowlist.com, an online resource for mountain enthusiasts living in and visiting Utah, is making it easier to try skiing for the first time—or to hit the slopes after a long hiatus.
The web site’s classified ad listing not only offers ski equipment for sale or trade, but also an ever-changing list of free gear that can help both skiers who are new to the sport—and those who need to update their equipment before they return to the mountains.
“The Free Stuff listing gives news skiers a chance to test out the sport by minimizing their investment in ski gear,” said Snowlist.com founder Sarah Langridge. “And it’s a great way to clean out your closet and get rid of equipment you no longer need.”
Placing classified ads on snowlist.com is free.
Carter Gregory, a former ski racer and now Snowbird Race Team coach, grew up on the slopes of Park City, where his dad Tom taught him to ski. Last year, Carter was able to return the favor by replacing his dad’s outdated skis—for free.
After spending more than 20 years on the National Ski Patrol, the elder Gregory, took a break from skiing. When he was ready to start again, Carter knew the transition would be easier for his dad with a pair of skis that were more ‘new school.’ He found a free pair of Volkl Cross Rangers on Snowlist.com.
“The free price tag was perfect and it was a real boost to his enjoyment of skiing again,” said Carter Gregory.
Snowboarder Mickey Vriens was excited to share his joy of sliding down mountains with his eight year-old son Ashton. But it wasn’t long before Ashton wanted to give downhill skiing a try too.
“I didn’t want to spend the money to outfit him with alpine gear, but I was able to find a free pair of kids Rossignols on Snowlist.com,” said Vriens. “This made both of us happy… the price was right and he is now learning both sports. We’ll see which one he prefers in the long run.”
Because free stuff listed in the classified ads of Snowlist.com tends to move quickly, Langridge recommends that online visitors sign up for an RSS feed on the site, which will alert them by email when new listings for free equipment are posted.
Snowlist.com serves residents, visitors, ski racers, Realtors and businesses in Utah’s mountain communities by offering the ability to:
 find a place to stay by distance to the lifts
