Which web site is better, AlpineZone or SnowJournal?

[Joshua B]

Considering everything each site offers, which of the Big 3 ski web sites are your favorite, AlpineZone.com, SnowJournal.com, or FirstTracksOnline.com and why?

Greg, would you please add FirstTracksOnline.com to the poll? I wasn't allowed to add it when I hit EDIT. Thanks!

Can I add First Tracks Online to the list and make it the big 3?

Done, but I'm guessing we're going to have a somewhat biased response here (at least I would hope there would be... ). This poll would be better posted on your site Joshua, and then invite members from all three to vote...

Yeah well, I'm just trying a thing here...for fun.

My site wouldn't generate the response I'm hoping to see here.

Thanks for the poll edit!

My response to the poll: I voted for AZ because I like the open communication between members and Administrator. The news section is great and the news pieces are well-written. The design is clean. Different components are updated on time. It's also a good place for off-topic discussion. The members seem the most level of the three boards.

My favorite part of the Snowjournal site is the NELSAP board which in my opinion is the main traffic generator.

I never liked the Java interface of FirstTracks so I just never got into it. That's probably more my loss than anything else. I do appreciate the recent ability to leave the Java and navigate normally. Their message board seems to be the best spot for trip reports.

Interaction and replies by administration, That was my voting motivator. I like it here.

why play favorites? most people on this site don't post on the forums at the other sites included in the poll, so i fail to see the purpose of the post. i enjoy all the great new england skiing sites and forums for all that they have to offer.

i have abstained from voting.

I wonder recklessly, doggedly (woof, woof!), ruthlessly ("I wonder where Ruth is?") between those forums listed and a few others, mouse in one hand, tequila in the other. Just about all have some threads I'm interested, and I'll throw in my $02 or some stupid comment. Just about all will have threads that turn into something useless, (e.g.: K-mart vs.Okemo, my over-priced SUV is better than yours, etc.) and I yawn and pour another drink. Variety is a buetiful thing.

No vote from me

I have never been on Firsttracksonline.com.
Snowjournal was a bit too hostile for my taste. (well, one member in particular)
So my vote has to go to AlpineZone.

I think http://www.skidweeb.com is the coolest!

But I'm not biased.
