SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 11, 2013 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 11, 2013 Funny, so far - apart from the Niseko one - this has probably had the most entries in the first few hours than any other Giveaway..... Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 its also got the most replies i think Good on you little madarao! An awesome amount of tickets given free and its all coming back to you in reviews, love and pictures! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 11, 2013 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing how the Reviews and Photos request goes. I'm making threads over there in the Snow Trip section, so if they end up empty it'll be pretty conspicuous. If we all want us to continue offering these Giveaways, please let's encourage each other to support it, ok? Honestly, from our point of view we really don't actually need to go to the extent we do with these things. In fact we could scrap Giveaways altogether and it wouldn't really affect what we do (apart from mean less work!) But obviously we want to do them, otherwise we wouldn't put as much effort into it as we do. It's kind of up to the people who win to keep this going. Onegai shimasu.

ippy 66 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I believe self interest is a wonderful thing. I want these reviews because i want the resorts who didnt give tickets this year to look at all the publicity their rivals are getting and think "i want some of that!" And that means more tickets next year! Yay! Promote promote promote! Man, im rubbish at being impartial. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 11, 2013 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 11, 2013 I know I have mentioned this before and I so wish I could actually show you right now, but once we flip over to New SnowJapan, Reviews and Photos are going to be a pleasure to submit. I think. And much more prominent than now. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 SJ David I did a descriptive photo post on Myoko/Madarao/Shiga in the forum last year - does that sort of thing get transferred to the new TR setup? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 11, 2013 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 11, 2013 What we are doing is making a new version of the main site. All Resort Reviews and Photos on the main site are coming over to new (one reason for it taking longer than we hoped): http://www.snowjapan.com/e/voice/review.php http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/photo_gallery.php The Forums here will remain largely unchanged. People on the Forums probably don't realize this but traffic to the main site is many many times more than Forums traffic. Which means that many more people see stuff on the main site than on the Forums. It will be clearer when it happens! Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Cool I look forward to posting some new stuff after my upcoming trip. BTY - just noticed your signature.....................what do you have planned for 2018? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 11, 2013 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 11, 2013 The new site is a big step forward and will be the base on which we will build on over the coming years.....kind of meaning. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Quite a few more Madarao pics here & some Myoko & Shiga http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/topic/21636-myoko-madarao-shiga-2012/page__fromsearch__1 Link to post Share on other sites
Crunky 0 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It would be great if more people discovered Madarao, we are going this year and the last bus to the resort leaves Nagano at 2pm cutting in half our last day at Ryuoo. More busses ideally a 5pm bus from Nagano to Madarao would be sensational. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Bus times for madarao here: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/topic/22515-bus-times/ but more interesting, look at the bottom pic, the alpico bus times are actually 3.30pm and 6pm. Im not sure if that brings you to madarao as well, its certainly tangram though, so youre in the definite area. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I know I have mentioned this before and I so wish I could actually show you right now, but once we flip over to New SnowJapan, Reviews and Photos are going to be a pleasure to submit. I think. And much more prominent than now. An interesting question, but on my tablet i have all kinds of things i can upload pics to direct (gmail, dogg, facebook etc etc). Are you guys building a snow japan app at all. No worries if not of course, i dont want you to think you need one, but if anything makes uploading easy, its a direct link from the pic in my tablet to the gallery on snowjapan.

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 15, 2013 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 15, 2013 You should be able to upload photos from tablets including ipad in the new set up, from the main site. We have tried to make everything as compatible as possible. And a proper mobile version is something that is part of our 'later' plans. Bar cloning, there really is only so much that us humans can do. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Genuinely looking forward to this! Pity for the site though since ill be posting pretty much every photo of me on the train on my way to nozawa (the time period where i have the tablet) to tell you all how much snow there is that day on parts of the ground that no ones riding and has little bearing on the level and quality of the mountains at elevations about 250+ meters from said ground level (300m above sea level all the way to togarinozawa station if im not incorrect and 560-1600m for the mountain itself).
