Liftopia: Because Youve Always Wanted To Rent A Mountain

mountainshotFinally, there's a way for me to carve up the slopes with my pizza-wedge turns without having to endure the condescending smirks of strangers.That's because Liftopia, the startup gives you steep discounts on ski tickets and other snow-related activities, has just added a new feature: full-mountain rentals. Which means you can keep the slopes to yourself if you're willing to spend enough cash, or, if you wanted to go with a more pragmatic route, you could bring 249 friends or coworkers along with you.Depending on the resort, you'll be able to rent an entire mountain beginning at $3,000. And if you don't need to accommodate so many people, some resorts will let you rent out portions thereof (one venue will even let you rent a dedicated tubing hill). Liftopia is positioning the feature as a great idea for company off-sites or club snow days, which probably make more sense than my lone pizza-wedger fantasy.
