It's an announce group: it should post the FAQs and charters of the
skiing hierarchy periodically.

The charter for the group states:

Consistent with present net-practice, this is the low-volume,
moderated group for announcements. It will carry the periodic posting
of the FAQ, race & other competition results, and possibly some
selected automated snow reports.

There's room in there for a lot more than FAQs and charters. That said,
even the FAQs and charters would be a start. If the FAQ maintainers in
the other groups want to contact me to discuss crossposting to RSA, I'm
all ears.

It should not have general traffic.

It should certainly not have *discussion* traffic. But general
announcements related to skiing are entirely on topic.

If you want to build it up, you could email the webmasters at all the
ski resorts inviting them to send announcements - opening dates,
closings, etc...

This sort of traffic is actually the least desireable, IMO, since there
are already the rec.skiing.resorts groups. Of course, they may not want
it (I've not checked their charters), and if the hierarchy users want
such traffic in RSA I have no deeper objections.

But actual contacting of resorts and such is far more work than I, as
technical moderator, have any desire to do. It would be far more
effective if a bunch of rec.skiing users independently got this data
from their favourite resort(s) and submitted it to RSA. I simply do not
have the time or contacts to do this in any useful fashion myself.
