Yes but with all the links still on the left side so you don;t have to go back in your browser to look at a different area.

That sounds a lot like the Weather Links page here on TAY.

The way it worked before was great: All those sites/stations listed on the left and the data for whichever site is clicked shown in a frame on the right. Fast, efficient nav. Never have to use the back button or leave that one page.

Below is a link we have yet to link to from our site, but feel we should soon. Maybe this will help with current telemetry navigation issues that seem less than ideal for many.

www.nwac.us/data/ALL

You will find other similar "one page" telemetry pages for the past ten days via...ALL.1, ...ALL.2 etc.

Just know that we will continue to take feedback about our changes seriously and work to make the site the best for the most. Also know that a significant amount of work and effort went into the substantive changes, specifically the avalanche forecast changes that we implemented this season. These changes were a result of a great deal of research, thought and discussion on the best way to communicate complex information to reach BC travelers of all levels of experience and understanding. Many of these changes implemented at NWAC were a direct result of work accomplished at CAIC over the past few years. CAIC recently launched their new site: avalanche.state.co.us/

We will continue our ongoing work to provide the best information possible for the Pacific Northwest backcountry travelers. We are shifting our current efforts to bring you more snow as soon as possible!
Thanks for all the TAY support,
Kenny Kramer - NWAC

Thanks, Kenny, but having to scroll up and down a very, very long page in search of one or two data sets isn't much, if any, better than the other option.

Trying to coalesce a lot of data over a vast, geographically complex area into a two-minute digestible avy forecast is difficult. For my purposes, looking at the telemetry for my destination, particularly temp, precip, and wind, is much more helpful that the actual forecast. Getting quick access to those data sets is more important to me, at least, than access to your actual forecast.

Again, the old method of listing all the sites along the left with the selected data in the main frame worked perfectly. As a bonus, it was really easy to get historical data for the selected site, something that neither nav option offers now.
