A unique sponsorship opportunity - each season Winterhighland's own webcams at CairnGorm, Aviemore and Glencoe are viewed millions of times!
Winterhighland continues to invest in and expand our webcam network, providing a unique partnership opportunity, supporting the creation of a unique national network of high quality high mountain web cams and integrated automatic weather stations providing unique real time online mountain experience.
Of interest not just to skiers, boarders, climbers, winter walkers, ski tourers but also to meteorological enthusiasts, and even just those who love mountains, great views and the Highlands of Scotland. The potential reach is far beyond the winter mountain sports market, thus the potential rewards for the sponsor is equally huge in scope.
Winterhighland is uniquely placed to call on the IT, web design, radio engineering, meteorological and mountaineering skills required to bring such challenging projects to fruition in the Scottish Mountains. This summer we've been upgrading the networking at Glencoe and this autumn will be putting in new networking using Three's HSDPA network on CairnGorm Mountain to ensure an even more robust webcam service this winter.
Target specific sectors of the Scottish Mountain Sports market with sponsorship of the UK Ice Conditions Server, Touring and Backcountry Reports, Mountain Bike Trip Reports and also the Public Snow Reports. Sponsorship opportunities start at £1000.
If you currently provide a blog on mountain conditions for winter climbing, back country snowsports or lift served snowsports on your own website - Winterhighland can integrate your service with our dedicated report servers. Getting your reports to more potential customers and helping create a comprehensive record of winter conditions.
