SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 11, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 11, 2007 Welcome to the new "Trip Reports" section of the Forums, the place to post your snow trip reports. The same general guidelines for the Forums in general apply here. In case you haven't read them or want to take another look here they are: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/12/page/1 (The only thing we would like to add is that we do of course realise some people will have their own blogs elsewhere on the web, but please remember that the Trip Reports forums are for reports posted on here, not to post links to reports elsewhere). You can post photos on SJ here: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/photo_gallery_image_uploader.php You can also post videos to our new video site here: http://www.snowjapan.tv/upload.php Once you have uploaded those photos and videos, you can then easily embedded them into your trip reports on these forums. If you need any help at all, please just email us at editor@snowjapan.com and we'll be happy to help. Remember you can also post Resort Reviews and keep your own online Journals: Resort Reviews: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/voice/review.php Journals: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/journal.php Looking forward to hearing about your trips. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 13, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 13, 2007 OK a bit of a change. Due to public demand we have decided to make this section of the Forums as a "Trip Report Archive". After a few weeks, Trip Reports posted in the main Snow Talk forum area will be moved over into this area of the Forums. So, please post your reports initially in the Snow Talk section of the Forums, here: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/1/page/1 Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Confusing to put it here. I think it's better where you had it at first directly under snow talk, with equal status to general snow talk and avalanche & BC. It creates balance with the off topic travel section too.

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 16, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 16, 2007 Moved again, the response today was 90% in favour of having it here in this position. Further comments welcome..... Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Best here I think. The extra link from inside general snow talk is a help too. Link to post Share on other sites
Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Some of the ones that I got you to move have pictures that don't display properly. This can be fixed by removing the numerical code from after the filename in the image tags... but I can't edit other people's posts... Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Can you not have them on both pages? Collect them here but as well have links over in the snow section Too bad this section wasn't around a couple years ago for all my Trip Reports. Looks like they have been deleted though...

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 22, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hi Toque. Just about your trip reports - I can say with 100% certainty that they have not been deleted.... they will still be where they were! Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hi SJ, Toque had some very nice trip reports from O/S. I had actually put a lot of time in making one from France as well which I cannot find anymore (I'll look again). Not sure if this has been addressed before, have you guys ever thought about putting together an O/S snow trip reports? Are you afraid it would get too cluttered? I did notice these o/s reports/pics were ranking pretty high usually in Google and the likes, (not saying attracting hits just for the sake of it should be a finality in itself) so was wondering whether it would make sense.

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 27, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hi SerreChe Thanks for that. Not sure where they are but like I said above, they certainly haven't been deleted. Let me take a look..... Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 27, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have just changed the default view of the main forums from "from the last year" to "all threads". This might make a difference when you search through things and you might now be able to find them. It might also slow the forums down so we'll keep an eye on this and if it proves to be a problem we might have to change that back. If you take another look and still can't find it please let us know (perhaps by PM or mail) and we'll try to hunt it out for you. Like I said though I am 100% sure that your report will not have been deleted. You can also manually change the default forums view by the way by using the "Display Options" drop down menus at the bottom of the main Forums page. It is (or was until I changed this) 12 months by default. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 27, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 27, 2007 Let us think about overseas trip reports. What do people think? Mixing them up with the Japanese TRs? We get shouts and rotten tomatoes thrown at us when we dare open a new section to the forums so would like to think it through. In the meantime overseas trip reprts are of course always very welcome in the General Snow Talk main forum. Thanks for the comments. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 27, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 27, 2007 OK thanks. If you still can't find it do let us know and we'll see what we can do (a few details would help!) You should also be able to find it if you look at the "My Forum Posts" in "My Stuff" section.

Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I think it would be nice to mix everything in together in this forum, but that's just one person's opinion. Here are some of Toque's TRs, they are great - never realised there was so much good content waiting to be uncovered. http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4987/Number/84239#Post84239 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/5794/Number/102494#Post102494 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/5220/Number/91049#Post91049 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4977/Number/83954#Post83954 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4971/Number/83485#Post83485 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4941/Number/82768#Post82768 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4915/Number/82184#Post82184 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4906/Number/81923#Post81923 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4896/Number/81680#Post81680 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4883/Number/81050#Post81050 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4760/Number/78534#Post78534 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4313/Number/70866#Post70866 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4036/Number/52285#Post52285 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4023/Number/52008#Post52008 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/3986/Number/51229#Post51229 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/4/Number/101#Post101 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/24/Number/1908#Post1908 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/39/Number/2327#Post2327 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/628/Number/10960#Post10960 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/909/Number/15118#Post15118 http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Main/928/Number/15299#Post15299 Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Kingofmyrrh, how many reports have you got through? Would you write a report as a summary of all the reports that you have read please. Link to post Share on other sites
Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I just finished reading them all. Fantastic experience - one that my lacklustre writing skills couldn't do justice to. Much as I intend to make the effort to emulate some of the experiences outlined in the TRs, I can only recommend that you follow in my footsteps and get reading! Link to post Share on other sites

Here are some of Toque's TRs, they are great - never realised there was so much good content waiting to be uncovered. And I never realized there were so many TRs that I made. Some people bash the JET program but without it I never would have shared all these experiences. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 18, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 18, 2008 Quote: do you know how to snowboard? Yes I do thank you. Quote: do you want some snowboarding hats? No, I don't, thank you. >>>>>>>>> This folks is a fine example of a) why we need to approve new members before they post (although even then it didn't help much here did it?) why we don't allow PMs from the off; c) some of the junk that we have to deal with on an almost daily basis; d) a taste of what the Forums might be like if we let anyone post anything. Roger_R here signed up and was approved a short while ago and then posted the above 2 sentences linked up to his spam site. He more likely than not had no intention of posting anything else on the Forums. Looking at the pages that he viewed backs this up - he arrived, posted his spam and then left. He probably won't even know that this has been edited, as he will more than likely be off to annoy some other forums to post his junk. I thought I would just leave it here as an example. (Without the junk links of course). Very annoying. (Thanks to the few people who immediately let us know about it, appreciate your support). Link to post Share on other sites
