Does anyone have a list of News Feeds with Ski Resort Info that I can use to port into a News Module for the site?

Mountain Resort Magazine has a bunch of news, not sure where from though.
Try www.firsttracksonline.com too.

You could always try SAM magazine for ski resort and lift information. Also, you can look at Ski Magazine. They are the one that rates the top 50 resorts in North America. They do have some information but not a ton. Another one you can look at is Snocountry.com. They have news on the resorts and snow conditions.

I was using one for BC ski info until last week, now it is in the forum.

You can still get Skiingbc.info Website news which is about new lift pictures ect. http://www.skiingbc.info/news.xml

Nice! What program did you use to create those News Feeds? I am considering doing one about ski areas for my website. However, I need a program or template to use.....

Use RSS Builder:
http://home.hetnet.n...oft/rssbuilder/

And then use RSS2PHP for the server to convert to php: http://www.feedforal...cumentation.htm

Download http://www.skiingbc.info/news.htm for a template

Sorry, that was really off topic

I really like it because its fast and it can be used over many different different systems (IE7, Mozilla 2.0 have RSS feed readers internally) plus Google Desktop and any other browser with the PHP script.
