DCSki's M Scott Smith interviews Phil and Tricia

In DCSki’s new Interview Series, we take a look at interesting people connected with the ski industry. Earlier, we interviewed Peter Landsman, Editor of LiftBlog.com, and Chris Diamond, Author of Ski Inc. 2000 and former President of Steamboat Resort. Today, we offer a two-for-one interview, chatting with Phil and Tricia Pugliese, who operate the popularPugski.com gear site and on-line skier community.
It’s a magical moment when passion collides with vocation, and Phil and Tricia Pugliese have made that a reality through their operation of Pugski.com. Pugski has always had a strong focus on ski gear — a passion of Phil and Tricia — and visitors will find detailed gear reviews on Pugski as well as an interactive ski selector. But Pugski is also known for its Forums, where a strong community of skiers and snowboarders from across the world discuss a wide variety of topics and help each other out. Often, they meet up in the real world through on-slope gatherings.

That was great. Thanks for the heads-up @LaurelHillCraze . That interview contains a lot of background and basic info that many of us know by osmosis, but Phil and Tricia's long strange trip is more impactful when you see it all laid out in black and white.

Pretty neat!
Can’t wait to ski during the gathering at Mt Crumpet.

 

[Tricia]

I wonder if @mdf saw that I quoted him.

What can I say?... I'm sneaky like that.

Great photo BTW ! Just after this photo I left my skis there for the best tuneup ever.

Long time member but haven't been able to log in for several years.
Either a password problem or confusion due to changes in the website.

I hate being required by websites to change your password when you forget it.
If you don't remember the first one you sure as hell
won't remember new ones.
