well, first off (i'll chalk this up to it being a rough site) a lot of the links don't work. (i.e. the second link, "Snowfall Opens All Four Lake Wanaka-Area Ski Fields " returns "Error! Sorry! Bad arguments passed to API function", "pirate slams" returns "The page you requested was not found") maybe it's just coincidence, since some of the others seem to work, but those were the first two i clicked, which, were it not in beta, would be an instant turn off.
EDIT: I checked more of 'em, the majority do work, i guess it was just bad luck... Guess that just proves my point about an instant turn off, eh? ^_^
the home page has some cool pics... but there's nothing to tell you what your looking at. if you're going for the requiem for a dream "you figure it out" type site, fine... but that seems a bit odd for what appears to essentially be a news site.
Overall (and i'm sure you'll still have lots of work going) it feels like a clunkier version of digg for snowboarders. though i will give you that you did an RSS feed, which means I'd probably drop this into my subscriptions. (assuming i didn't get bad links) As it stands, I probably wouldn't use anything but the feed. (oh, and add descriptions to the feeds, a lot of the headlines are pretty vague.)
