Top interview! Good to know a bit more about the site and setup of things. All sounds good.

OK read it now. I'll use a different adjective - extremely interesting. That bit about posting as different people is funny. I think he mentioned it before.  I admire the way you run things and hope you will see fit to continue.

Thanks for sharing.
Have you not mentioned catering to cheesefans when you contact all these resorts? I think it is certainly a good idea - what they've been looking for in fact!

Great stuff. Some really interesting points in there In my experience resorts are at least initially quite wary of actively promoting themselves to the foreign skier and snowboarder. This is either due to a lack of confidence (they just don't know how to go about it) or because of some problems that they might have encountered in the past. Able to elaborate on any of those 'problems'? I'd like to hear more about the "politics" as well

Hokkaidough, I think you'll have to wait a bit as SJ#1 is out and about at the moment and won't be around for a while.

Looked long so left it until this evening. What a really great read that was and quite revealing. Thank you for sharing and kudos for the great work you have done. I would quite confidently say that this site has played a big part in the big picture of increase in interest. Good stuff.

We increasingly hear stories of people who have made real friends from the forums and the site and it’s really great to hear stories like that. If we can provide the platform for so many people to meet, discuss things and make friends, that is a good thing.
Wonder when the first SJ wedding will take place!

It is interesting to find out more, even if I am new here. This site is wonderful. I hope I will still like it once I try skiing!
