Skype goes to Aspen for the Winter Xgames

Even if you aren’t a sports fanatic, you are likely familiar with ESPN’s XGames. After all, extreme sports are rather hard to ignore, thanks to shear spectacle. In the same way folks slow down to look at accidents, they tune into events in which someone could be injured.

And Microsoft’s communications arm, Skype, is heading to Aspen, Colorado to be part of this year’s action. Today, Skype’s Jackie Lee-Joe announces “to get you closer to the X Games, we’ve wrangled VIP access across the board for some uber sports fans. You’re going to get close to some of our Extreme VIPs, who will give you their personal take on all the action, reactions, gossip and general tomfoolery via #SkypeXGames. Keep sending them your suggestions on what shenanigans you want to see next”.

No, the company isn’t flying you to the games, but simply providing a bit of commentary to compliment your viewing of the event. To get you ready, the company posted a video from Sage Kostenburg, which you can check out below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
