The winter blues settle in when people get sick of staying indoors, watching the same reruns, and knitting tiny mittens for their house centipedes. Get back to nature and out of that teeming lair of insects with today's Groupon to Ski Haus in Cannonsburg and Wexford. Choose between the following options:
- For $12, you get a ski- or snowboard-binding repair or tune-up (a $25 value).
- For $20, you get $40 worth of winter-sports equipment and apparel.
Ski Haus readies snow traversers for icy plummets with clothing and gear from brand-name lines, while mending blades and boards in binding repair and tune-up services. Customers can secure their personal skis and boards with a binding repair, where a meticulous inspection and testing of binding ensures feet remain shackled in place during rides. A tune-up offers a choice of hand or machine sharpening that hones blades and levels the playing field when competing downhill or fleeing an aggressive pack of mountain goats as The Benny Hill Show theme plays in the background.
Alternatively, guests can bundle within the snug fibers of a The North Face Denali jacket ($99–$160) or a White Sierra winter fleece ($35), or don a pair of Smith Optics ski goggles ($30+) to protect eyes when skiing or chopping onions on the slopes.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Safeguarding Your Computer
It's a world wild web out there, full of viruses, trojan horses, and cyber mummies. Consult this guide to keeping your computer squeaky clean:
A thumbprint on your monitor might be on the inside of the screen—use a screwdriver to get it out.
There are only three safe websites: robinwilliams.net, robinwilliams.org, and will.i.am.
Keep your computer "clean" by removing all the swears from your Excel documents and deleting any pictures of people kissing.
Look out for Trons!
Draw a picture of a scarecrow in MS Paint and set it as your background. It won't stop viruses, but it will kill filthy birds near your computer.
Crumbs between keys can become sustenance for viruses to breed. Replace your keyboard every three hours.
Cell phones are tiny computers that will fit in your dishwasher. You're welcome.
