PowderFone is Skiers' Wake Up Call
PowderFone service helps ski resorts wake up skiers on powder day—or any day
A new service by Powderfone.com allows skiers and snowboarders to receive wake-up calls when a snowfall equaling their own specified amount has taken place.
Powderfone.com offers a free snow report wake-up telephone call service to skiers and snowboarders at 1,200 resorts worldwide.
Subscribers choose how much snow, which days, which resorts, and at what time they would like to receive a wake up call. When a resort gets the snowfall a subscriber has requested, they will receive a phone call like this:
RING RING ... ...Wake Up. PowderFone has good news for you! Copper Mountain received 12 inches of new powder at 5:11am as reported by ski patrol. Press 1 to listen to the avalanche report. Visit coppercolorado.com for more information.
"We started this a few years ago and now have a list of top North American resorts branding our services and offering it to their customers," says Kelly Taylor, PowderFone co-founder. This season PowderFone will surpass 100,000 wake up calls in their four-year history.
PowderFone continues to develop new ways for resorts and riders to hook up. This season, a new product called Weekend Warrior will be launched in limited resorts in the Midwest and Eastern U.S., delivering weekly phone updates of conditions, events and lodging deals to skiers and riders.
The PowderCast, a podcast and blog run by PowderFone's University of Colorado interns is produced every month.
