Where to Ski And Snowboard - Report to us and win

Report to us and win

15th January 2012, by Wendy King

Your feedback counts – report to WTSS

Where to Ski and Snowboard makes heavy use of resort reports from readers. And we’re looking for your feedback again in 2012 – it could lead to a free copy of the 2013 edition of the book next August… and a free holiday, even.

This year we have revised our reporting system to make it simpler for you to file the appropriate feedback, and for us to analyse your comments. Your report and prices go straight into our database, where we can view precisely the bits we need at a particular time. Please do give it a whirl to report on your trips, now or later in the season.

Our Reader Report System is now reached through the same database entry point as our Resort Price Survey form – so you can file feedback and prices from one link. It gives you a ready-made structure to follow, with review and edit options at the end of a section.

Last year’s report form has been removed, so you will need to follow the new link given at the bottom of the page and on our Reporting pages of the site.

We have built into the reporting section the means to review and edit your comments, as well as simpler (we hope!) navigation to/from each part. If you have nothing to say for a particular section, you can skip it and move on. You can even file a single comment if you wish.

Most of our 100 book-winning reports come in using the detailed form, simply because it encourages reports of the kind we want. But there are two other ways to send us a report: by posting a short review on our website, or by email.

Detailed reports on the main system do not appear on our website, so if you want others to read it, then a short summary of your detailed report is a good way to do that. There are links to file a review on all our resort pages. All reports are considered for the free books that we give away in the summer.

Important note relating to filing of detailed reports

Our database server is set to time out (ie disconnect you) if you have not hit an on-screen button for a while. Theoretically, the timeout has now been increased to 30 minutes – but don’t depend on it. It’s best to sit down to file your report when you are not expecting interruptions. Make your coffee (or trip to the loo) before you start.

Resort Price Survey 2012

The Where to Ski and Snowboard Resort Price Survey is the biggest of its kind. Now in its fourth year, we intend to repeat the process in 2012 to provide you with a comprehensive and comparative guide to resort costs.

We would like you to gather prices for food and drink at mountain huts or in resort restaurants during the 2011/12 winter season, which you can add to the dedicated section of our new reporting system. Details on what we are looking for can be found in our Price Reporting section of the site.

Note: Reports and prices MUST be from the 2011/12 winter season, and be submitted by the end of April 2012.
