NEWBIES: We need your feedback!

Ok there it is...my first post.

i sugest that someone create a forum/ stickey next winter so that AZ members can meet (at a specific resort) old and new members on a weekly or bi-weekly basis..
That would encourage new members to become more involved

Welcome oldefarms. The forum you suggested is a reality. It can be found Here.

I'm a longer term member, but infrequent poster. Mainly because I've been cut off from AZ at work. I used to catch up on AZ during the day, but can't anymore. It really bums me out.

Anyway, I enjoy all the various topics on AZ and unlike most poster I think of this as more of a hiking site vs. a ski forum. This site is well moderated and more open than other hiking sites that are out there. For example, if things get a bit off topic you're not chastised to stay on topic or leave the site.

Sorry to hijack, back to your regularly schedule new guy talks and whatnot.

I took the liberty of moving your nerdy posts to a new thread:
Nerdy programmer talk stripped from serious newbie discussion

A good idea, as Beano mentioned we have a forum dedicated to such meet-ups.

http://forums.alpinezone.com/trips-events-forum/

We encourage people to post in there. During the ski season there's ussually a few 'organized events', but it's not limited to that. I know of several occasions this past season where individuals were able to meet-up at different mountains through out the region. If anyone has any ideas on how to make that forum better we'd love to hear it, just start a thread in the feedback forum.

A calender like T4T's. I think Steve brought this up before but I can't remember what the answer was.

Yes he did, amd here is my response from this thread:

The calendar is something that I plan on checking out a bit more this summer...

I love posting. Heck I joined only a month ago and I come back from school and look every day. I think it might be cause people are intiminted by rthe fact they have 20 posts and someone else has 1,000. They also may not want to look like a newb.
