 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello all
I have been contacted and offered various advertising options on this site http://www.welove2ski.com/jsp/index.jsp - as experienced, savvy, knowledgable and easily flattered skiers  , is this a site you would consult, access, seek information from 
I'm aware of the site of course, but I'm not sure I've ever used it - if I need to know something about resort I don't know, or facilities I need to check, I'm more likely to ask you lot.....
Any opinions, for or against, would be welcome - merci

Anniepen, I have used it and do like it but it is or was set up to promote a select band of resorts. Resorts which the author(a journo iirc) thought were the best of the best worldwide.

I've come across it before, but never bothered to bookmark it. Generally seems the same old recycled information available anywhere.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Anniepen, looked at it a few times during the last season, liked some of their articles, but during the season they didn't seem to update the site that often.

According to, er, themselves they are "Britain's best ski website".
According to Hitwise, who know such things, they are outside the Top 50 of Britain's most popular (300ish) Ski Sites, and their traffic levels are around one tenth of those of Snowheads.
Alexa ranks them around 1,000,000th in the world...
Nice looking site though.

Wasn't that the site set up by, James Cove, Arnie Wilson, and A N Other? Looks slick. So unlike our dear snowHeads.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Thanks all - have to agree with general consensus. I've spent a couple of hours browsing the site and it's not grabbing me. achilles, The founders are Sean Newsom (journalist) and Peter and Felice Hardy (of Hardy's Guide) - may be others of course.
On the plus side, it's an attractive site and easy to negotiate, but I can't now remember a single ad I've seen on there.....
Thanks again - as always, SnowHeads is MY ski site of choice

Not heard of it before / not seen it before but anything that promotes people going to "resorts we love" aka Jackson Hole, Verbier, ValDI, Cham, Aspen is a good thing as that means there'll be more space for the rest of us in lesser resorts...

Didn't they initially set up a forum too a few years back - where our own beloved Mr Goldsmith found that all the usual variations of his name had been registered by others... possibly snowHeads?

Personally I think it's a great site. Choose your skiing level and hey presto a list of resorts to choose from. It was because of this site that I went to engelberg and Alagna last season and they didn't disappoint. I love the layout and quality of the content but I would agree with the comment that it doesn't seem to get updated with much new content during the season.
