Skiing down a mountain, like putting out a campfire or tucking in a sleepy yeti, is easier when you have a blanket of snow handy. Tuck into powdery slopes with today's Groupon to Sun and Ski Sports, with recently opened locations in Nashville and Franklin. Choose between the following options:
- For $20, you get a ski tune-up (a $40 value).
- For $20, you get $40 worth of ski gear and apparel.
The certified ski techs at Sun and Ski Sports restore spunk to worn snow gliders while outfitting patrons for the slopes with a full range of brand-name ski equipment and apparel. A yearly wax and tune-up preps powder gliders for slippery mountain terrain and midnight heists at a flour mill; professionals stone-grind skis and bevel edges for smooth turns and swift trail runs.
The sports shop's rooms overflow with ski gear and apparel from top brands, keeping mountaineers cozy with Thermotech ski socks ($16.99) that wick away moisture and Anon Helix goggles ($49.95) that shield eyes from a sun trying to whittle down 20/20 vision of pristine mountain landscapes. Snow sliders can opt to purchase their own skiing supplies, investing in K2 3-speed ski poles ($49.99) or ski boots ($99.99+) that level the playing field during slalom competitions against mountain-goat herds. This Groupon is also valid throughout the store on items beyond ski gear.

The Groupon Guide to: the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop
People all over the world celebrate New Year's Eve by watching the ball drop in Times Square, and the ball itself has a come a long way from the papier-mâché wad engulfed in flames that rang in the new year back in 1904. Here's a look at today's cutting-edge ball:
Size: The ball is a scale model of earth, so its size changes every year to match the diminishing diameter of a planet slowly being trampled by its inhabitants.
Material: The ball is constructed from the finest Waterford crystal and held together by several hundred Pepsi stickers.
Contents: Traditionally, the ball is filled with:
• One animal from every species
• Children's letters to Santa
• All the extra money that the year's millionaires are tired of
• The oft-expunged choose-your-own-adventure Bible chapters
Speed: The ball is actually descending imperceptibly slowly throughout the entire year.
Reaction: As soon as the ball reaches its base, millions of people all over the world instantly begin weeping inconsolably in memory of the year that just died.
