Local Snow Report - A FREE Service for Your Station!

Cost
This is a FREE service to you! Barter-free, trade-free, commercial-free, and TOTALLY FREE! We're funded by ski areas, so just add your own sponsor, and keep every dime of revenue! Mountain News is an independent news bureau, not a ski area association. There's NO vested interests and NO worries about commercial plugs within the reports!

Commercial Use
You can sell to any advertiser AND keep 100% of the revenue . Reports can be custom tailored to your exact specifications to include YOUR sponsor copy (as well as your calls letters and station slogan) in the report intro and lockout.

Report Content
Our reports cover new snow, snow pack depths, number of lifts/slopes open, and all slope conditions and grooming. In addition, we also provide ski resort events, weather conditions, and compelling content guaranteed to keep the beginner to expert skier glued to their radio! We'll provide any and all ski areas that are local and relatable to YOUR AREA! We can even provide destination resorts too, just in case your listeners are looking for a terrific getaway! Need a specific resort added into the mix? No problem - we custom tailor each report the way YOU need it!

Tailored Programming
Choose one of three packages: 2 :60 second reports, 4 :30 second reports, or 1 :90 second report. You can specify the intro you want on each report. Play as often as you wish. Each report is good through 5:00 the following morning.
