If you like PisteHors please link to it, you can deep link or link to the home page. Please use some appropriate text rather than Pistehors.com as the link. We suggest: Backcountry Skiing and Snowboarding News.
If you have site that fits with the theme of backcountry or off-piste skiing and snowboarding please feel free to send it to us. We take some time to process link requests, especially during the winter. If you have accomodation, a bar or restaurant or are a ski instructor or guide it is probably better if the link goes under the page for your resort. PisteHors.com members can edit these pages themselves.
