Loop'd Network aims to reach extreme skiers with the newest addition to its network of branded online communities.

At www.ski.loopd.com, ski enthusiasts can post photos and videos of themselves on the slopes, blog and comment on each other's profiles, as well as enter to win autographed gear and other prizes from pro skier and Red Bull-sponsored athlete Daron Rahlves.

"The skiers on Loop'd Network have been asking for their own community, and we believe this addition brings a mix of interaction, contests and sponsorship that will bring both serious athletes and enthusiasts together," said Scott Tilton, chief executive officer of Loop'd Network.

Ski community members can access content from across the entire Loop'd Network, including contests from brands like Oakley, in addition to competing for potential sponsorships from companies like Monster Energy.
