Have you started hitting up the mountains yet this winter? Did you want to scope out some of the local slopes before making the trek up the hill? If that’s the case, it could pay to check out some of the free 3D Ski Maps available on, you guessed it, 3dskimaps.com.

The website, which just so happens to be hosted on BlueFur, features a series of maps for the mountains, overlaid with color mapped steepness. This way, it is possible to tell at a glance which trails best match your current level of skiing skill and ability. The color coding shows the changes in elevation quite well and you can even “zero in on the perfect trails or pistes… no matter which ski resort you choose.”

3DSkiMaps.com is obviously not exhaustive in his offerings, but it is quite an impressive collection. Whether you’re looking at Whistler in British Columbia, Beaver Creek in Colorado, or even the Dizin Ski Area in Iran, this website has a colorized map of steepness with the trails clearly highlighted.

Many different types of companies and individuals choose to host their websites with BlueFur and we’re most appreciative of it. That’s why we take the time every week to highlight one of our customers and this week, we take a look at Torch River Manufacturing (TPM).

Based out of Nipawin, Saskatchewan, TPM offers all kinds of different products for the rugged outdoors. For instance, you might find that you’re having a difficult time fitting your all-terrain vehicle in the back of your pickup truck without leaving your tail gate down. This is less than ideal, so you might want to consider the ATV Risers offered by TPM. They can give you up over 9.5 cubic feet of additional storage in your box.

Torch River Manufacturing is constantly working on new products, so you’ll want to keep your eyes locked on that page to see what they have up their sleeves. You’ll also find boat docks, tow buddies, and other high quality products.

All kinds of people choose to host their websites with BlueFur for a myriad of different reasons. One of these people is Cynthia Clement, who you may almost consider as a modern day Jane Austen.

That’s because she is an author of “historical romances.” While her work is completely fictional, she definitely draws inspiration from real life encounters and real life experiences. Clement was born in Stratford, Ontario and is the eldest of six children. She has degrees in biology and anthropology.

The biggest work by Clement is The Seduction of Sarah. This novel follows the tale of widow Sarah Wellsley as she “delights in her daily swim.” She is then discovered by an “imposing stranger” who mistakes her for a harlot.
