Skiing Goes Wireless: Snow Reports Sent Directly To Cell Phones

WEST ISLIP, NY November 11 2003-- Skiers and snowboarders alike can now monitor snow conditions with their cell phones. Rubber Snow, www.rubbersnow.com , a cellular phone based snow reporting website is offering avid snow goers with up-to-the-minute snow conditions on mountains within the New England region directly to their cellular phone with an SMS/text message. With a desire to make lifestyles simpler, Anthony Barba founder of the West Islip-based service explains, "My goal is to make life as simple as possible. I love snowboarding, and thought it would be cool to create a site that is tailored specifically to the end-user. The information is already out there, and we want to bring it directly to you. All the legwork is virtually cut in half. It's your job to hit the slopes".

This site is absolutely free to subscribe to. Once subscribed to the site, users can pick the Thursday Report, which is essentially a weekend report delivering information on the mountain(s) you have chosen, and/or the New Snow Alert, which will alerts you when new snow falls at the mountains of choice. Each snow alert covers: surface conditions, average base depth (base), 24 hour snowfall (new), open terrain (ot), and lifts operating (lo). Receiving up-to-the-minute text alerts of snow conditions directly to your cell phone is as simple as it gets. "There is an art to text messaging", says Barba, "It is an easy way to communicate so as not to confuse."

Barba along with his team have also the created a similar site www.rubbersurf.com which has received great attention. This site is geared towards the surfer dude or gal offering a daily cellular-based surf report on wave height, wind speed, water temperature and tanning index. "When you are receiving customized information, it makes planning easier. It's not like receiving spam or junk mail. This is specific information you choose to receive", says Barba." Establishing itself as a cutting edge online presence, www.rubbersnow.com is reaching people any time, any place, and on any wireless device.
