TAY Ski Reports Declining- Why?

..worth being aware that when CascadeClimbers was overhauled, it seemed (to me) that it killed the declining site dead. Well almost dead.

I love TAY think it's best thought of as 2 things
1: Conditions reports
2: Self-published magazine-style ski stories.

I agree that NWAC fractured the TAY hub that reported conditions. I don't feel that fracturing was ideal, but now there are 2 places to check & potentially more reports as different folks like different sites/ modalities.

I will continue to post ski-stories that include all details. I don't dig the ambiguity, but I understand the thought behind it.
I think the range is massive, as a BC ski environment, and if more folks skied more diverse areas, and posted them then the crowds will spread out.

It is not an exaggeration to state that without TAY, I might have missed out on many of the most-important people and experiences in my life.

Very well said. I agree completely!

Agree with just about everything that's been said here but Lowell's comment about storytelling touches the nerve for me. Social media encourages pics and videos and these seem to have replaced words as the medium of choice for describing one's adventures. The really good TRs are the ones that are still interesting when the links to the photos expire. I hope TAY continues.

No matter the fact that TAY reports have declined as mentioned there are many who still persist and at this time keep the soul of TAY intact and ever purposeful.
One of the greatest things here is the Partners Wanted, aside from the trip reports and conditions evaluations, in the fact that it is a place where those new to the Cascades can meet to tour and ski.
In many instances it is where younger members actually come in contact with older and more experienced bc skiers who serve in helping guide and mentor newfound friends.
Personally speaking I have met incredible people and skiers through TAY.
Thanks to all and finally winter is here.

We're not dead yet!

I am not a poster on this website. Lurker.

I would not want to continue posting of the same location.....just gets too boring. Same old shots. Same old stuff. People usually like to do trip reports of new fandangled stuff.

I would like to see trip reports have more of a "conditions" in the area where people went. That is quite helpful. Maybe if people titled a report like this: Baker Table Mountain Conditions 1/6/2020....you might get more people to post about conditions...but more trip reports...I doubt it...unless it is something new.
