Two Montana ski resorts are pooling resources to form one of North America's largest interconnected trail networks: Big Sky Resort, the famed Montana ski resort envisioned in the '60s by TV news legend Chet Huntley, and Moonlight Basin, which made headlines two years ago when it became the first new destination ski area to open in the U.S. in more than 20 years. The two resorts share the same mountain -- Lone Peak, roughly an hour from Bozeman. The combined pass provides lift access to hundreds of acres of stunning summit snowfields that were previously accessible only by hiking. Combined, the two trail networks offer nearly 5,300 acres (2,145 hectares) of ski-able terrain and the second-biggest vertical descent in the US, at 4,350' (1,326 meters).

Super Bowl advertising isn’t cheap. And for business-to-business (B2B) companies, it’s an egregious waste of marketing dollars. Why? Most B2B companies don’t need “branding”, they need qualified leads and deals. Super Bowl ads are not an effective source of leads or deals because they aren’t narrowly targeted at a qualified audience and commercials are not the right medium for driving web registrations (the fuel that powers relationship marketing).
Yet every year, B2B companies throw away precious marketing dollars on the “big bang theory” of marketing. Companies like GoDaddy.com wasted $2.4 million through their failure to provide prospects with a clear statement of their value proposition and a direct marketing channel for responding....
