How good of a skier do you have to be to put PUGSKI stickers on your equipment? My friend wouldn't want to embarrass the community with his old man skiing skills. Just asking for a friend

No definitely not it is probably short by at least two.

MY skis carry the reminder of every blow that laid them low, or cut them til they cried out on their anger and their pain, I am leaving, I am leaving, but the skis still remain.

Nice one, you had to reach back for that tune, as a fan of Paul I think he would be amused.

No definitely not it is probably short by at least two.

For the East you need six: SL,SX,GS,SG, Deep snow day ski, Deep snow rock ski (for when the deep snow isn't deep enough). A 7th ski (DH) is optional.

Would Nordica Enforcer 93's be a good OSQ for Jackson Hole? Asking for a friend...

The 100s eliminated my 107s and 91s so I'd say go with them but the 93 is probably a good daily driver for most conditions.

Five pair is what any good Pugskier calls "a good start".

Also, when discussing ski quantities in a domestic setting, rock skis most definitely do NOT count in the tally.

Nervous. I thought we were supposed to be randomly putting them on skis on racks all over the country?!

Seriously, yes. During a typical week, the 100 might be better, but honestly, JH is generally steep enough that the 93 will get you planing very nicely.

Wait, you missed the tree skis and the when-there’s-not-really-enough-snow tree skis.

And rock skis...ballet skis...teaching skis...bump skis...2" of fresh powder over perfect Sun Valley corduroy skis...

Anyone want to buy some Mertrons; asking for a friend.

Last week on my golf forum, a member ( early 30’s ) went public and posted that he just bought a cordless drill and had no idea how to use it, insert bits , etc. No way I would have gone public with that.

Wow, he’s lucky he didn’t lose his man-card for that!

I have a friend who still has some and likes them.

Yeah, I thought it was long ago decided that the ideal number of skis to own is N+1, where N is the number you currently own.

Somehow that seems low.
