JPR needs a mobile web version or needs to trash flash. You can't get
anything of any use exceptreservations without flash
poor decision. There will be lots of annoyed customers soon.

Two new versions coming out in the next 7-10 days. Thanks for the heads up and look for it.

Somewhat related, you can not access the trail/lift report/map with ad blockers installed on your internet browser (at least not on my flavor desktop). Users of the new Apple iTouch would not be able to access Jay's site either since it does not use flash (which I sincerely hope will cause a land slide change in the way businesses design their web sites to NOT embed content in flash).

Props about having two newer versions on the horizon.

Jay has gone too fancy with their website. I liked a more basic version they had 3 or 4 years ago.

The same problem exists when you go to ski manufacturer sites. Pages take time to load and are far more flash than substance. Very annoying.

Steve@NPR -- glad to see you were already sensitive to this issue.
I think getting quick access to important. Info when on the move
should be an important web site goal. When you mix
marketing glossy attractive adds with informational access,
you end up with very pretty, well organized, schitzphrenia. You cannot
lose sight of what your customers use it for andhow they access it.
Off my soapbox now...
