Economy got you down? Shrunken portfolio keeping you from splurging on that luxe ski getaway?

The channel will offer free mountain-sports programming to an estimated 15 million customers of Verizon’s FiOS TV, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, DirecTV and Bright House Networks. The Associated Press
