A nice surprise. I was not expecting a copy. It's a lot easier to email a report now.
I only sent them one report and I could not see my own words for the resort in question.
I used to recognise my sentences in the 'Good Ski Guide' from the early 90's.
They have a new scheme whereby you can let them know in advance where you are off to and they give you things to look out for.
You get a free book and possibly a free lift pass in return. Sounds pretty good to me.
Any other Snowheads get a free copy ?

They send free copies to a number of people who send in a report on a ski resort/s

of food and drinks etc..

MUSKY, For which resort did you report on? They usually like reports of the lesser known resorts. I have the 2005 copy, is the 2006 much different to last years?

The new edition has lots of new information and is certainly different from the last edition.
I sent reports in for this edition from Big White,Red Mountain,Whitewater,Phoenix Mountain (Can)and from Megeve,Argentiere (Fra).

I got one too! My first ever report for them and I can recognise my bit in the text...I was quite chuffed. The new edition seems to be more crammed than ever with adverts though which I though detracted from it a bit....mind you I only buy every other year so that might not be something new this year....

I haven;t got one yet  Sent in both the reports I published on here (Fernie and Val d'Isere), so maybe they don;t like the fact that mine are published reports?

nbt, I expect they couldn't read it for all the typos

I sent a report in a few years ago, never heard anything, but was fairly sure that they used some of my report the following year as I recognised some of my prose!
Needless to say I haven't bothered since.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Can't be that...I sent them stuff I'd posted here too and they used it...is it because I'm a newbie and they want to encourage me to send them more??

You know it makes sense.

I wonder how many contributors they've secured with this idea? It's a clever idea.
One weird aspect of this is that there's still a live website - http://www.ski-europe.com/wts/ - which seems to be based on the book, but the site hasn't been updated since 2001. Seemingly.

Yes, apologies for forgetting that one. I had a feeling there was something much more useful - Google doesn't rank it high enough - they need to sort that out.
