Please review my ski/snowboard site

    I've just started this site. Its basically ready to realise to the public, but I've got pesky paying customers keeping me from putting in the finishing touches and getting it going properly. So I figured it'd be a good time to ask for opinions...

    I realise it needs quite a bit of SEO, but for now I'm only looking for feedback on the design and layout of the site. One specific thing I'd like as many people as possible to look at is the drop down menu on the main bar. I have hopefully fixed it, but haven't tested it on Macs or all browser possibilities.

    Lastly, if you are interested in skiing/snowboarding, I eventually plan on duplicating this site for a couple of other NZ towns and then as many Canadian ski towns a s possible when I arrive back home around Christmas. If you can take some time to sign up for the forum and post a message or two that would be awesome...and it may be in your interest to come back in a few months when more towns are featured...so far its just a few friends and I...

    Thanks to anyone who takes the time to look!

    It looks boring, to be honest. Does not quite capture the fun and adventure of skiing/snowboarding.

    Side menu looks OK. Using Opera 7.54 here.

    It loads fast, looks great , i like it a lot.

    Maybe add some pictures of snowboards and skiis, to give people a clearer idea what the site is about.

    Very easy to navigate around! Awesome work! Otherwise, I'd change the image at the top from snowflakes to a nice image of people skiing or snowboarding... basically a nice photo that has to do with the topic to quickly let users know what the site is about.

    Thanks for all your feedback, especially since it was mostly positive :)

    If anyone notices any bugs with the drop down menu, I'd still like to hear about it!
