Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
I hope the Snowheads team won't mind this little promotional thread ... well, it's more of a request really!
We at Where to Ski and Snowboard are hoping to encourage more folk to submit a resort report to us, as well as meal and drink prices and photographs - an invaluable part of updating our guide annually.
So we thought we'd target this fantastic group of forum members to see if we get some. There are FREE books and a holiday up for grabs for the best.
Have you sent us a review before? If not, the guidelines are on our website. If you know others that have been away this season, then encourage them to send us a report too.
We'd like your experiences on trips this winter - of the schools, bars, huts, lift queues or not; things you loved / disliked about the resort. You can choose to use our funky online system, which is a detailed report form, or send us an email with your comments attached.
If you've got a copy of the book you may want to make a few references to things in a particular chapter, for example.
And we are gathering prices of meals and drinks in resort too. The price of a pint? Spag bol? Hot choc? etc ... Even just a couple of examples or typical prices in the resort are fine.
Happy Easter everyone
Storm

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I'd consider sending you another report like I did last year but for the fact that I didn't get any kind of response or "thank you" back. Plus the resort I went to this year seems to have been dropped from your main pages to a very brief description at the back of your book, so not sure if it's even worth me sending a report?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Erm... isn't this what people do on snowheads on a real-time basis? Do people stll even buy hard copy reference books like this when interweb does it so much better?

Sorry about the lack of 'thank you' response. Good point. I'll see what we can do ...
Resorts get juggled around quite a bit, so some that are demoted one year may return the next. And we do need to keep the Directory resorts updated too - so, yes, all feedback is helpful.
The reviews are used to keep our web pages updated too
And yes, loads of folk buy the book.

fatbob, The Where to Ski and Snowboard book is much more comprehensive than anything you can find on the internet. And yes people still buy text books.

I enjoyed the book when I was starting out and bought two copies a few years apart, so it was useful in that respect and I would recommend to anyone in that position. 12 years on however, I would look elsewhere, ie here, which I find far more comprehensive and as many reports are sent from or relate to, recently visited resorts, tend to be right up to date. Finally, it's not unusual for people to take the wee wee out of each other on this site, which I personally find to be an added bonus.

WTSS is an amazing book. You've had my words for this year. And printed some in the past
