Interesting Journey Man.

Second point is interesting, I don't know why that is happening and this kind of thing is not my bag.... I'll pass it to someone who's bag it is tomorrow.
Thanks.PS Why are you typing with your thumbs?

A new interview with the creator of SnowJapan has been put online.
http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/interviews-andrew-lea.html
"Last month I sat down with Mr Andrew Lea, otherwise known on the Forums as SJ#1, and more importantly the creator of SnowJapan and still the man in charge of the operation. Over the years we have had many people ask us about SnowJapan and I took this opportunity to ask him a few questions about the site, how it got started, it's history and future.
SJForums (David), February 2008"

Great photos of the box muikabochi.

In the past I don't think they have been shy about adding to numbers.
You'd hope though that in a perfect world they would just tell us the actual (real) numbers!!
-
I really don't know why. It is quite perplexing when it doesn't change over a short period when you know there has been well over 1m. You'd think they would want to be shouting out about it. And more importantly you'd think that with such large amounts of snow falling over a short period that the snow depths would increase! Answers on a postcard please...
-
Kagura just don't seem to add to their numbers of late, even on the day when they said there was 80cm since the day before!
We do try to mention this discrepency quite often in the text of the Now reports.... but it is a little annoying isn't it!?

No, you can't.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean there janus.
If you use some of the map pages here it might help

When I find out I'll let you know!

I can't see the pictures either. I can't see any reason why they are not appearing, so can't really help there sorry.
Fattwins + muikabochi. I really don't know what you are both talking about above. I can only guess but it seems to be something about uploading photos to our site.

On the subject of photos, allow me to make one comment (directed at no-one in particular). Do we hope that people will upload their photos to snowjapan? Yes, of course we do. That's why the photos section is there. On the suggestion of a number of members last year we invested in redeveloping the photos section so that 5 photos can be uploaded at the same time as well as some other refinements. That work is done and we are now glad we did it. A quick look shows me that there are more photos for January 08 than the other two Januarys on record, so we are happy that people are using it. But more are always welcome and as well as increasing the number of photos that the entire audience of the site can view, uploading photos to SJ also in effect is one way that members can support us - thank you. (If people do upload photos elsewhere and have no basic problems with them being on SnowJapan as well, please do consider uploading them to add to the snowjapan collection as well - it's really quick & easy).
Are people in any way obliged to upload photos to our site? No, of course they're not - it's totally up to them.
Thank you.

Another good point and one we will certainly discuss - thanks
-
I don't think so actually. Maybe one of the threads that we posted when we uploaded all the updates back in November?
-
Well we can put it on the list. Super geeks are currently rather busy doing other things, and like I said it hasn't caused too many problems and so it's not too urgent. Good suggestion though thank you.

It is a browser issue, some browsers just don't like the chat box when it gets non-ABC characters in it. Only a small number, but enough for us to want to ask people to just keep it English. Thanks.
-
Please just try to avoid posting any non-alphabetical characters please. Thanks.
-
Thank you for your comments MOFOFUNC. I hope you have a great time up there.
I just wanted to make the point for the benefit of everyone reading.

The people who post the reports on our site are based in those areas.
Unlike reports that are written by people & companies who are trying to get you to go somewhere and to spend your money, our reporters are under (rather strict) instructions to "tell it like it is". That is the basic concept by which we are posting these reports and it means both the good and the bad. It is not in our interests to report anything other than the truth and we do all we can to ensure that.
In the reports they are not comparing the conditions to those at other resorts in Japan or in another country. If there is any comparing going on, it will be to conditions at that same place and what is expected or 'normal' there.
They are also human. So they might get excited when there's tons of snow and conditions are great, and they might get a bit disappointed when things aren't up to the usual standards. Also as part of this human thing, sometimes they may see things slightly differently from how others would see them. That's really unavoidable but we ask the reporters to keep things as consistent as possible. They may even from time to time make small mistakes or make a typo, though we always try to make sure that if such things do happen they are seen to & changed asap.
I publically thank them for their commitment to posting consistent daily reports throughout the season.

Me too!
That can be confusing, can't it...
-
al, you can now use PMs.
Thanks.

sockmonkey. I will ignore the sarcasm this time and also ask, why should this entire thread be deleted?
Quote:....but i'm not supposed to comment on the way things are run here according new rules.....Incorrect, that isn't new at all.
Don't agree/accept board policies = don't post here.
Simple.

Hi Sarge1 - have you sent that to us? As far as I know, we haven't got anything from overseas which might make 8 days difficult. Let us know your address in Japan (via PM or email) and we can send them to you there if you want. Thanks.

No.
Thanks for all the feedback (here and by mail). We're open to the idea of doing something like this again in the future answering more questions.
