I never said their site wasn't cool. But I'll hammer down on a spammer any day, no matter who it is. Fact of the matter is I was spammed by them or someone representing them.. and on a number of occasions. I didn't post this as a result of one comment spam. Besides the CEO contacted me and apologized, so I edited the post. As far as why I linked to them.. this is why: http://www.google.com/search?q=the+ski+channel ...it helps SBP show up in Google for a search on their name. Hey Jedi, Thanks for the comment.

At least they are doing something proactive in our sport instead of just talking about it. Furthermore if you are bashing them for spamming your blog why do you have 2 links to their site, I checked it out, and thought it was pretty cool. Anyway I know how grouchy some of you altaheads can be so don't bother writing back if it's going to be nothing but insults..

I have seen that Ski Channel spam across various Ski Blogs while posting my trip information and photos. I am off to Canada later this year to try out the whistler resot :D, lets see what the slopes have in store for yours truly :) Don’t you just hate continued self promotion, what happened to the days of a blog being about sharing useful information, conversing and so forth?

You see i am looking for sites that are relevant to my website and i want to ask them for a link exchange so that we may both mutually benefit unlike spammed comments. But i'm finding that a lot of the good sites that have interesting content do not include any sort of contact details to request this info. I have looked through Ski Bum but cannot find an email address to get in contact with you. So this is my attempt to get a hold of you. My site is apeqs and dot com but you have to put the two together in order to reach my site. Anyway give me a shout at entity333 and gmail and dot com and you need to put them all in a row for you to reach me;) Cheers. Hey, there is one issue i have had of late.

Most of it gets filtered by askiment but some gets through and we delete that. The spam makes up about 95% of comments, it is such a pain to delete it aswell.

To clarify, the Mike I talk about didn't email me, he posted the same promotional paragraph to at least half a dozen posts on this blog. The comment he posted was not relevant to the topics, and they were comment spam...plain and simple. I have modified the post title and edited the original post by removing the word "SPAMS". I am still hesitant to believe that Mike did this solely on his own accord, but I'll accept that and your apology. Gary Marcoccia Steve, thanks for the comment.
