Or maybe post a new sticky about it in the TR section so it grabs peoples' attention?

How to post to a Skiing Trip Report

[severine]

I think that's a great compromise, Greg! Bravo!

98% of your TRs are not even skiing-related.

Rather, they include what song was playing on the radio on the drive to the mountain when one of your farts was timed perfectly with the beat, what brand of beef jerky you ate on the ride home, and what color your turds were that evening...

You seem to remember many of the important details of his TRs. Be careful or you might be branded a GSS Groupie.

Most of the time I look to TR just for the ski pr0n, and I know I'm not alone, so I'd appreciate it if it were easier to know where the pics are and where they aren't.

Who's with me?

Agreed - hey mod: if we include place, location and date in the title, there is no need to repeat them in the body of the message, right? I'm getting lazy in my old age and have been dispensing with the duplicity...

Pictures or no pictures, the trip reports are one of the main reasons I'm a member of this forum. The narratives are quite often the reality checks on how the conditions really are out there.
Pics are nice but what's more important to me are the snow and trail conditions.
