Liftopia.com Launches KickApps-Powered Community for Skiers and Snowboarders

Liftopia.com, the national discount lift ticket marketplace for skiers and snowboarders, has officially launched their KickApps-powered community, The Lodge.

In the words of Ron Schneidermann, co-founder of Liftopia: “In keeping with our company’s motto of Ski More, Pay Less, the idea was to create a space where skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels could come together to share videos, photos, and their opinions on ski resorts, find ride shares up to the slopes, and generally use the community to get even more enjoyment out of the season.”

“Not only was KickApps a fast and economical way to get up and running quickly for this ski season, their single sign on feature allowed us to integrate seamlessly with our custom lift ticket application. The KickApps engineering team has been incredibly supportive, and our KickApps developer Haylie McCort at DotcomCowgirl customized our site and showed us how to use the KickApps widgets for viral marketing. We are really excited about growing The Lodge and taking advantage of all the new KickApps features going forward in 2008.”

The site looks great, guys. Congrats on the launch!
