Poll How did you find Skitalk.com (formally Pugski.com)

[OldJeep]

The subtle hints on themalibucrew didn't help?

Welcome

Dwight aka footndale

Had to go back and search to see what you were talking about

 

[skibob]

Epic refugee also. I didn't even realized they’d gone offline until it got cold and I started getting skiing on my brain again. Glad this community is here.

Huh? "Again"? Skiing can leave the brain???

We have had a lot of new faces here in the past year...So, if you haven't voted or commented, please do.

I was researching new skis just over a year ago and stumbled across the Cage Match comparisons as my entree to Pugski. What an entree that was. Suffice to say, work suffered.

 

[surfsnowgirl]

I honestly don't remember. I used to be on ski diva and was a semi active member of epic but think i stumbled on pug from a google search.

 

[Pete in Idaho]

I went somewhere playing golf and fly fishing and when I came back to Epic everyone was talking about people leaving and what was going on on Epic. I had no clue that anything was going on. Then I left the country and when I came back Epic was gone. Some one or something told me about Pugski and it may have been Tricia because we were in the same group at an Epic ESA at Big Sky and got along well. I liked Epic when I stayed off the political forum but Pugski is great and I enjoy being a small part.

I was a member of EpicSki and saw pugski mentioned quite a bit towards the end of that forum.. Once epic went down it took a few months before I started surfing pugski and maybe a year later I actually registered and joined.

 

[AlpsSkidad]

I was searching for information on some ski gear options for my daughter. Stumbled on a Pugski article and after lurking for a while, I joined up.

 

[Guy in Shorts]

Heard about it from my old ski forum so when i was looking for a new home i looked it up.

Solved your mystery. You were the second post in this thread. Shaggy out.

Did some googling for a comparison between two skis and stumbled across a very nuanced cage match by @Philpug

Stayed because it's a special spot on the internet where there's really knowledgeable ski chatter without the condescending bro talk.

 

[Philpug]

We have had a ton of new people of late...We are still interested in how you found Pugski.com.

 

[Core2]

I am seeing Pugski stuff come up more and more in Google searches. Random binding search I did and you guys came up in top results. Good to see the knowledge gap Epic left behind is being filled in.

 

[Sibhusky]

I'm pretty sure that Google favors results of places you've visited before. You'd have to clear your search history and maybe your online account to stop that tendency.

I can't remember if it was through Ski Diva, or actually re-meeting @Tricia at the shop at N*. I had met her once before in the Ski Diva days when she was working at Start Haus, but I think she gave me a Pugski card when I met her again at True North.

I think I found Pugski literally by googling "skiing forum" while I had some free time one weekend after my move to CO.

Of course, shortly thereafter on a drive back from, I think, Beaver Creek, I found myself behind someone's car decked out with Pugski Gear and a possibly (in)famous "PUGSKI2" license plate. Which one of you snagged that sweet plate?!

 

[SSSdave]

The last couple seasons I've occasionally asked lift riders whether they are familiar with this skiing board and have been surprised how very few have even heard of this site. Like to point them towards maybe some posted ski pics. If they don't I usually follow up with if they've heard of epicski dot com and only minor numbers tend to. I guess this means a majority of skiers either are all facebook (dave no account) ski related oriented or don't use the Internet for anything ski related? Well of course fair numbers over at TGR too. Surprising as pugski certainly receives high priority gear search hits regarding gear.

So stuck on one of the small swag stickers near the top of my left pole and another on the rear left side of my helmet. When I ever hear a peep out of others in left lines or riding lifts, will mention it herein.

 

[David Chaus]

I get asked what skis I have, and how did I find out about them, and did I have a chance to demo them first. So I answer “Renoun Z90”, “Pugski” and “yes, at the Pugski Gathering.”

 

[wallyk]

I found Pugski though Epic........but paid little attention because I was under the impression that Pugski was more esoteric and technically nuanced that Epic. Boy was I wrong. Fantastic site with some fantastic people!!!!

That is the S.S. Pugski, a GMC Yukon XL. Our VW Golf Alltrack has the regular PUGSKI plate.
