Viva la Revolución!

May 16, 2012 in News by Slople

…no other site can keep up with that!

Looking for slopes can be fun – finding slopes that have the perfect wind when you want to go flying is even more fun :) For the first time ever, there is a website that can give you exactly this: Finding slopes that have a matching wind now or a matching forecast for today and tomorrow!

How does it work?

  • Go to the startpage and select the time you’d like to go for some flying in the new dropdown:
  • Enter the place where you want to find slopes around and press “Find slopes!”
  • …and a few moments later, Slople will show you all the Slopes with matching wind-forecasts, nearest first!

Of course this works also on your smartphone – just go to “Settings” and choose when you want to go to fly.

Amazing, isn’t it?

Win amazing prices on Slople now!

May 2, 2012 in Slople by Slople

We appreciate your participation on Slople. Win amazing prices in this contest starting now, ending on 06/17/2012 and help the Slople Community to get even bigger, better and spot-on!

The prizes

That’s how it works:
You have to collect as much points as possible to stay on top of the ranking-list. Here’s how you can get points:

  • Edit a slope or submit a new one (10 – 40 points)
    You’ll receive between 10-40 points for editing a slople / submitting a new one, depending on how accurate your informations are. Because this rating is a manual process, you will not see the points immediately.
    Please consider: You must be logged in, before(!) you click on “edit slope” or you will not get any points!
  • Recruit a new member (15 points)
    For every member you recruit successful, you will receive 15 points.
    Please consider: You must invite the new member(s) by clicking “Invite new members” in your “Welcome”-menu or you will not get any points!
  • Post a video (4 points)
    For every video that’s been shot at a slope and you post to the corresponding slope, you’ll get 4 points.
    Please consider: The video must have been shot on that particular slope. Post the video by clicking on the “Detail”-Link on the slope and use the form on the bottom of the page or you will not get any points!
  • Post a picture (2 points)
    For every posting with picture that’s been shot at a slope and you post to the corresponding slope, you’ll get 2 points.
    Please consider: The picture must have been shot on that particular slope. Post the video by clicking on the “Detail”-Link on the slope and use the form on the bottom of the page or you will not get any points!
  • Upload your own, personal avatar-picture (10 points)
  • Save your actual hometown (10 points)

You can always see the actual ranking on the right side!

Watch out!
Should a user try to cheat on the contest by behaving unfair, fraud, misusing the code or using someone elses images/videos/text, we will exclude the user from the contest and deactivate his account on Slople.

The contest starts immediately and ends on june, 17th 2012 at 11:59:59 PM. The first 3 places on the ranking list can choose one of the prizes listed above. Should there be multiple participants with equivalent points, the winners will be picked randomly out of them.
No cash disbursement and/or an replacement of the prizes is possible, recourse to the courts is not permitted.

This is how it could work if you would like your friends to know, you’re going to fly on Slope “xy” tomorrow:

1. Look for the slope on Slople and check the wind- and weather-forecast
2. Click on “Join group” if you haven’t already joined
3. Type your message, like “I’d like fly here tomorrow, @martin @bernd @jonas, do you join me?
4. Submit!

I hope you will be able to spend even more time on the slopes with your buddies.

All the best
