Suunto and Snowbasin invite all spectators and athletes to the Suunto Social Media Lounge to check out race course standings, transition times, upload photos, and update Twitter, Facebook and Movescount. Suunto will offer free public use of its computer stations hooked up to secure wi-fi provided by Snowbasin Resort. The Suunto Social Media Lounge will be set up at the event Expo area at Snowbasin and will be open on Saturday, September 25th from 10 am to 2 pm.

“The Suunto Social Media Lounge will be a great service for those looking to use the internet to enhance their overall experience at the event,” says Nora Stowell Business Director and Vice President of Suunto USA. “Since the XTERRA USA Championships is in our backyard, we wanted to make people feel at home. We want them to be able to access their training logs on Movescount and to let their friends and family know how they’re doing.”
