Has anyone taken the time to check this thing out.  I searched the forum and couldn't find anything about it.  Like who do these guys think they are?

so i registered under Gavin Writstrom, I'm 23 and I'm from Canada, after signing up they sent me to a page telling me this: "Thank you for participating in the Slope Force Beta.
We will notify you when a beta slot is available"



They're going to get loads of members with a waiting list like that.

It looks to me like they are marketing to a very different target than ns. I tried to keep an open mind until i clicked on the continue thing and saw the picture of the girl. they could try to be a bit more subtle... seriously, blatantly preying on guys' minds like that. they almost tricked me into signing up. ;)

"Slope Force will give skiiers around the world a place to socialize and call home."

This actually brings up a legitimately good idea though... who's the hottest girl we can get a NS shirt on?
Contest idea anyone?
