Taking a cue from the ski gear thread, when do Demo Days start getting announced, and is there a central clearing house to locate the info? Somone ought to put together a calendar of demo days (hint hint)

riverc0il said:you know, this raises an interesting point. information of demo days are usually very hard to obtain invovling keeping an eye on the main new england ski forums and news pages (AZ, FTO, SJ) or personally visiting ski area pages to find out which one's offer demo days and when. not very easy. you would think the ski manufacturers would get together and post information on a "demo day tour" type web page for the entire industry. sure couldn't hurt sales by centralizing information. a surprisingly dirt poor effort by ski manufacturer promotional departments.
Good idea Steve. How about we just have a sticky and update it when we get the info.riverc0il said:good call brian, would be even cooler if AZ could host a calandar with all the demo day events listed. would be a lot easier than digging through a message board thread and would probably drive site traffic with increased content.
We talked about this at one point here; mostly geared towards T&E. I was waiting for a phpBB 2.2 release (which still hasn't happened). I'm not opposed to revisiting this. Let me investigate to see exactly what's involved in terms of code changes to native files.riverc0il said:good call brian, would be even cooler if AZ could host a calandar with all the demo day events listed. would be a lot easier than digging through a message board thread and would probably drive site traffic with increased content.

That could be a great interim solution. The nice thing about the calendar mod is events are added by making a post in a specified forum. I think replies are displayed or at least linked to from the calendar entry.bvibert said:Look at December, I already put the two I mentioned in there. I thought it would be nice to have a calender with all sorts of skiing events on it. Maybe we could put one like that up here, or we could just use mine. Its open to the public so anyone can add events. I think having a sticky with a list of Demo Days is a good idea too.
