Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Nice looking site but I can't take it seriously when you (I assume it's YOU Rusta) state things like:

Austria - Arguably the best riding in Europe, with amazing terrain, slick resorts and a price tag to match.

Germany - The poor relation to Austria and Switzerland, but a decent weekend option with resorts just two hours from Munich.

Scotland - High winds and unpredictable snowfall, but a stone’s throw from the very beautiful city of Edinburgh.

I'll leave others you help you editorially wink

Oh, forgot... Welcome to Snowheads.

So Scotland's a stone's throw from Edinburgh is it, any chance of directions because I don't recall seeing any street signs directing traffic to Scotland from Edinburgh. wink Laughing

It says that the nearest airport to La Plagne (Les Arcs is not listed rolling eyes ) is Geneva. Isn't it important for a website like that to get it's basic facts right? Maybe it would have been better for the team that is behind the website to start less ambitiously and focus on areas they know well (Australia for example) and build up slowly?

Looked at the North American section - little more than a collection of statistics. Same ssems to apply for each resort I have clicked on

very poor. no use to man nor beast.

and as for Switzerland "Trains in Switzerland don't just arrive the second they're scheduled to (something that infuriates the British).... blah blah,"

1st point correct, 2nd point tosh.

Rusta, let us know when you have something useful to offer... Evil or Very Mad

In the world of Webvertising you make the margins on quantity - hence the thin infomercial type look of many sites. Although I've not looked at this one.

Put the snowheads home page through that and it makes some very interesting suggestions for renaming the EOSB... Admin, how about it? Shocked

Looking at it in more detail it's actually shockingly innacurate:

Quote:
1: Crowds are unheard of on Scottish slopes.

Really!?! Shocked
Quote:
On the occasions the sun does burn through the clouds, you'll have kilometres of glorious mountainside all to yourself - something that can't be said for most European resorts.

You may at off peak times but not at busy weekends so not entirely the full story...
Quote:
2: Most of Scotland's ski fields are a mere stone's throw from one of the most beautiful cities in the world - Edinburgh. So, after a hard day on the hill, you've got culture, fantastic architecture, stunning scenery and a bar or two to boot, right around the corner.

So a few hours drive from any of the ski areas in Scotland makes Edinburgh right round the corner? Shocked

So let's look at the stats for Cairngorm and just pull out a couple of glaring mistakes randomly:
Quote:
Season end: 2008-04-01

WRONG!
Quote:
Nearest Airport: Glasgow

WRONG!

I didn't check any the other info but I'd guess lots of it is also wrong.

If all the other resort write ups are as poor as this the whole site needs a check and a rewrite to be honest.

Looks nice tho rolling eyes

Lastly blatantly promoting a site (presumably yours) is never a good idea in your first post!

France: "If Austria is the birthplace of skiing, France is its adopted home."

No. The birthplace of skiing would be either Norway/Sweden/Finland or Switzerland IMO.

Unfortunately I have to advise that use of the pornolize site may be a grotesque infringement of someone's copyright and may involve bandwidth theft.

Just had another look. Can't believe some of the tosh on there. Among many others:

The resorts in Austria are exactly what you'd expect.... Of course you pay for the privilege, more so than in any other country. As to whether you think it's worth it, well, that depends on the cut of the leather on your wallet.

Simply misleading.

So, you stumble upon the site on the Internet, you're new to skiing and decide to book into an Edinburgh city centre hotel "because the skiing is just a stone's throw away". What planet are they on?

Glad everyone preferred the pornolize version. More fun, more accurate and better written.

Rusta, hope we've been helpful Laughing
