TheSnowLife.com is sorta similar to NS, only we are more interactive on the hill and in the community. We will be hitting 24 resorts this year, covering events, finding sick riders(skiers & snowboarders - gotta clarify that on here - don't want to get killed!) to take on our backcountry shred missions, throwing comps, setting up urban rails, and much much more. Hit us up, check out our site.
We arent trying to rain on NS parade, we love this site, ours is geared towards skiers AND snowboarders. A lofty goal, but they two disciplines both kill it respectively, and we want to showcase that.
When we say we want to sponsor people, we want to sponsor PEOPLE. You don't need to be the sickest out there, just passionate about the sport and have a personality that reflects that. Obviously we want you to have a certain skillset, but the bar isnt as high as you might think. Hit us up, get to know us in our forum, and you'll see that we are all about stoking out EVERYONE, not just pros.
