It is good beer though, at least I think.

Sure, maybe if all the tgr forum posters pooled all their incomes together, I bet collectively we could raise at least like $80, you know what with ski bums having so much disposable incomes and all. btw, saw your gimp thread, good luck with rehab.

Wait, I thought everyone else was a dentist too?

I might have been kinda harsh with my last comment. Maybe the Scurfields and their friends are alright. I admit I don't know the whole story. You probably shouldn't be able to "detain" someone on the hill for going out of bounds but veiled threats of slander lawsuits against an internet forum is definitely not cool and that ticked me off. Hence the post. Nevertheless, I probably owe the Scurfields an apology for my last post.

[powdork]

Nah, if they bought me I'd be saying all kinds of bullshit like, Sunshine rocks. Its not owned by deuche bags. And I'm buying a season's pass.

Sounds like a SLAPP suit. Sucks that Wyoming doesn't appear to have any Anti-Slapp laws though.

[powdork]

could one argue the anti-slapp laws could originate in
a) wherever the servers are located?
b) wherever the owner of the content (maggot that posted it) resides?

I know, "Work or lack of it forum jong," but this didn't seem like a bad place to put this:

Heh: "Enforce safety rules and regulations"

Good opportunity for the right person.

[SuperGaper]

Been fizzing up at Epicski too, they got their Cease and Desist letter a couple of weeks ago, didn't announce they were pulling the thread, but everyone figured it out pretty quick and it blew right back up like this one.

Diffusing a Bomb – A Year of Social Media Lessons at Sunshine Village: Doug Firby Interview

The comments are hilarious. Two tools only the ski industry could love.

The only lesson Furball learned was that he doesn't know shit about social media. Hence this job posting:


SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNITY COORDINATOR

Department: Sales and Marketing
Location: Calgary office
Closing date for applications: July 22

Description
We are a world class ski and snowboard resort in Banff, Alberta, with an international reputation for turning our customers into raving fans. We need a Community Coordinator to tell our stories to the world and manage our reputation on social media. We're looking for a communicator who is a digital native, at ease with everything web.

Do you tweet and use Facebook every day, all day? Is building social community ingrained in you? Do you take pride in customer service excellence and fancy yourself an entrepreneur? Do you know the difference between a "brochure website," a "publication" and know why RSS feeds are important?

This position is based primarily at the Calgary office. We seek a highly motivated individual with experience and passion for blogging, micro-blogging, Facebook fan management and community building. This position is full time with salary and benefits, including an annual season’s pass and reciprocal agreements at other area resorts.

The successful candidate will be part of a tight-knit marketing team that works closely with external agencies as needed. The Community Coordinator will be responsible to create content, engage the public in conversations on social networks, execute promotions and contests, and be a strong positive voice for the resort.

Essential Functions
Regular daily/weekly publishing in a content marketing and community building context (text, video, photos, audio)
Monitor and react to brand reputation challenges
Build and maintain our content distribution network by way of social media channels
Minute-by-minute participation in conversations that surround our content and brand, answer comments, be a brand ambassador and mediator

Schedule and organize multiple departments which generate content on a daily basis
Conduct keyword research including cataloging and indexing target keyword phrases

Create and update daily, weekly and monthly reports, including success measurement

Other duties as assigned

If you read the comments from Gregg the interviewer they sound very 'AlpineZoneesque'. Isn't that tool's name Greg too. Could they be the same tool? Maybe.

I think this is the 2nd version of the same job advert that has been up recently. Anyone else surprised they couldn't find anyone that wanted to spew shit on facebook @ ski industry wage rates...?

I can't wait to fuck with that poor dude, hope he knows what he's getting into.

Different pictures, if the pictures are to be believed. But he's editing everyone's posts to eliminate the negative stuff. Dick.

New Ski Resort Watchdog Group Formed

MRA Blog, May 12, 2011

Sunshine Village Ski Resort has been the focus of turmoil since the controversial firings of four senior staff employees. In total, seven employees have been terminated and a lengthy wrongful dismal case is now underway.

You might want to check if there is a slight typo in that sentence....

[powdork]

^^i don't think so. seems rather dismal to me.

You know, we are looking for an editor if the ski thing doesn't work out for ya. Thanks for pointing out the Freudian slip.

I don't think that hiring splat as your editor is within your budget.

Actually, Splat is really cheap. All you need is hookers and blow and Splat will be there quick!!

Is it fair comment for me to say that IMO Gregg Blanchard is trying so hard to suck up to Ski Corps that he fails to address the big question as to whether deployment of lawyers is really the best answer to social media problems or simply makes the lawyered-up look like bigger assholes?
