I suppose, to be strictly accurate, my list isn't 'offical' either. I mean, Admin's not paying me to do it, and I haven't got a contract or anything :cry:

I started doing it last year because I found I couldn't remember where anyone was going, or when, because people used to randomly post things like 66 sleeps to VDI and I'd be left wondering where VDI was. And because the number of sleeps kept changing every day I couldn't keep hold of the date they were actually going, in my mind, even when I knew which resort they meant.

So I started doing a proper list last year for the 'sleeps' thread, with the actual date and the full name of the resort, like Val d'Isere instead of VDI. I also put the country down if it was somewhere unusual.

And I think people liked it, because it was much easier to see when and where everyone was going. So, those who were going to be in the same resort at the same time had a chance of meeting up, if they wanted to.

It also gave those J2Skiers who don't post up on here very often a chance to say something and play a greater part in this community.

And I think it encouraged people to write a report on wherever they'd been when they got back. I like reading the personal reports on ski resorts - they're so much more interesting and informative than the ones in brochures etc.

So, if anyone else wants me to put them on my list please just say so, and I'll do it :D

All I need is the name of the ski resort and the date you're going, and the Excel sheet will work out the number of days/sleeps left until you go.

Edit
The current list of J2Skiers off ski-ing/boarding in 2012/13, updated to today, Sunday 28th October, is on the previous page.

Don't cry Ally.......

I think you are offically unoffical - if you see what I mean?

:lol:

I find your list interesting ally in terms of who is skiing where to see where people choose to go each season.

Thanks Andy :D

Admin didn't tell me off last year, for doing my list, and I was doing it for ages so he must have noticed, therefore I suppose he doesn't mind. Do you think that makes the list officially unofficial? :lol:

I wouldn't worry too much. Admin is very busy designing a flag for Scandinavia at the moment....and needs to do some shopping for Icy's impending birthday. :D

Is that what Adders is up to?
Did wonder - he has been quiet.

Thought it was because Ally, Nelly, Lizzie etc etc were behaving themselves so far this year.

Apologies to all those I have forgotten who like to thik of themselves as rebels ......
