BlogTahoe’s 2008 Lake Tahoe Ski Resort Website Awards

By: BlogTahoe.com

Welcome to the First Annual Blog Tahoe Lake Tahoe Ski Resort Website Awards. Ski resort websites play an important role in

Lake Tahoe’s winter sports arena. On a basic level a ski resort website helps connect a potential skier or snowboarding with the resort by giving them immediate access to activity, location and condition information. Deeper than that a resort website helps communicate the attitude and ideals of the ski resort which hopefully signals to the users what type of experience they are likely to have there. With all the advancements in social netwokring and web 2.0 applications Blog Tahoe hopes that Lake Tahoe ski resort websites will begin to use their virtual space not only to connect skiers to their resort but to help connect skiers to each other. With that said here is Blog Tahoe’s 2008 Lake Tahoe Ski Resort Website Awards.
