Yes, Look, Rossignol, Dynastar and Lange have really liked what we have been doing on the site and committed to finish out the year with us as official sponsors. They really liked the #bringbackthe15 campaign that we started and while they cannot or will not promise it will happen, it is being discussed at some pretty high levels. Lange has an all-new boot coming and I am sure we will see some more more conversation on that. Dynastar's new Legend series is a resurrection of an old name on an all-new series of skis and they are fun, we can't wait to get on more of them. Rossignol has reinvented the 7 series with an all new Sky, Super, and best-selling Soul; these are definitely the best versions of these new skis to date. Let's support the companies that support us!

Awesome, congrats. Well deserved! They all make some great products that I have enjoyed over the years.

Congrats, @Philpug and @Tricia! It's a win-win for companies to sponsor high-quality sites like yours where real people share real feedback -- positive and negative -- on their products. And here's a plug for perhaps one of the lesser known brands you noted...

I still pine for my bought too short 2013 Dynastar Edens, and my better half loves his Dynastar Powertrack 84s. Dynastar really does put out some nice skis. I've heard great things about the Glory and the Powertrack, in addition to the Chams. Hope Pugskiers out there will take a chance and demo a name they may not have thought of if the opportunity comes up.

PSA for anyone unfamiliar with the brand: If you want to demo or inquire about them at your local shop, ask for the Deen-a-stars (rhymes with a certain brand of sausage) instead of pronouncing the first part like the explosive materials Wile E. Coyote used to blow up the Road Runner, or Jimmie Walker's favorite saying from Good Times. ##JustDatedMyself

#bringbackthe15

This is great news! :thumb:
I've been a Rossi/Look guy for about 4 decades now... :D

Welcome aboard, we hope you like it here. Will there be a 'voice' from the brand participating on the forum? Great opportunity to exchange ideas and get real world feedback.

I can't wait to get on more of the new stuff they have coming up the turnpike.
If you haven't seen some of the reviews we've already written, check them out here.
Dynastar
Rossignol

Here is my review of the Dynastar Intense 12
Dynastar Intense 12
Dimensions: 121-72-106
Radius: 14m@166cm
Sizes: 149, 158, 166
Size tested: 166
Design: All New

Tricia: Dynastar is offering the Intense 12 to women who are looking for a serious frontside ski. This ski reminded me how much fun it is to make nice turns without having to overthink it: just pressure the tip and it comes around like an old friend. The small mogul field I went through was a piece of cake. This could easily be dubbed the Cougar Cruiser.
  • Who is it for? Skiers looking for a fun groomer ski.
  • Who is it not for? Someone who prefers a midfat as a daily driver.
  • Insider tip: Trust the tip.

Sponsorship from several elite brands in the ski industry, is a major milestone in the growth of Pugski. :thumb::thumb:

This news brings a big smile to my face as it recognizes that, from start-up, Phil and Trish developed a team that just does it right. "Ski Talk at a Higher Level", once a dream is now reality. Their passion and vision is demonstrated in too many different ways to list. Keep walking the high-road and better things will come!
