It happens!

Are you the only one who can create these pages? The main reason why I found this site was because of the stats and pics of lifts around the country.

No, other moderators can create them too.

When I build the new website, I plan on having an area where 'special' members can update lift information.

Awesome, the holdup in making the website more comprehensive seems to be the limited amount of time that the few moderators can dedicate to it. If we could edit the statistics and add pictures it could grow faster and with less effort by the moderators.

If it were possible, I would be willing to put some time into updating it.

Are you considering a system like Skiingbc.info's?

I don't think his website has the capability of allowing users to edit data.

Actually, you're right.

I have always thought that the chairlift pages should be something like on Lift-World.info where any member can edit data or add pictures.

There just needs to be some filter so that images are decent resolution and not copied without permission.

Having open access turns into the problems like what Wikipedia has, false info being listed and overwriting accurate info.

The new site will most likely only have the capability of allowing members to enter and edit lift data. The reason why members won't be able to upload pictures is because it's quite complex code to write.

As Bill mentioned, there is the possibility of inaccurate information being entered. This is why only certain members would have the ability to do this.

How would you decied who those certain people would be?

I think we're getting ahead of ourselves considering this website has not even been started yet!

More then likely people who work in the industry... And know the shit inside and out!

Perhaps maybe those who have partnered with us, that could be one of the perks.

Also at Schweitzer, Chair 1 is no longer there and they have two new lifts. A HSQ and a triple.

Just a lift update, Norhway at Crystal has 196 chairs and 19 towers. And between Skier and I there are plenty of pics to add it.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for getting behind on this but I will try to pick up the pace hopefully over spring break. I've been quite busy with the new Willamette Pass Resort website and I'm trying to get it up before the season is over (ends this month).

I'm pleased that I have DSL, but Qwest seems to have put ftp uploads on low priority and it actually transfers at .16 kps to it takes like 10 minutes to upload a 110 K file. It pisses me off and I've never had this problem in the past. My guess is it's to prevent people from sharing on P2P networks and I hope I can have this issue resolved quickly.

Look at the limits, when I had DSL it was 3mps down and 760k up... It sucked...
