How do you answer the question "What's Pugski?"

[Philpug]

I think all Pug's are amazing...

And since I AM a Pug, I am just > < that much more amazing.

When friends ask I tell them it is an on-line community focusing all things skiing with a little side bar of social activities. Those that are tech wise that know about on-line communities understand. Those that are not tech wise it takes a little more explanation.

I usually say pug my ski forum all in the same sentence so all self explanatory in my mind.

My wife and kids refer to you as my "imaginary friends".

The ones that help you spend the kids college fund.

If you are going to do something...mights well do it right.

The first rule of Pugski is you do not talk about Pugski with your wife.

FIFY

This is an interesting topic for me for many reasons.
When Pugski launched, we thought about the name "Pugski" and wondered if it was too focused on our last name Pugliese, or Philpug, but it was thought of by a member on epic during the staffing changes thread and within two days the URL was purchased for us and it moved quickly to become what you're enjoying today.

A few years ago we consulted someone about it and asked if it was an issue because people asked "what's Pugski?" on a regular basis and the response was, "That is exactly what you want. You want people to ask 'What's Pugski?' because that is your opener"

So, my response is, "Pugski.com is a forum based ski review website with industry news and active engagement with its members"

How do you pronounce Pugski??

Just posting to find out if I was banned... not yet, I guess.

I go with the French.

Peugeot = "poo- ZHO"

Pugski = "poo - SKI"

Philpug = I really didn't think this one out thoroughly before I started...

A couple of weeks ago I was telling folks on a windy chair ride about PugSki and they were really curious what kind of site this was.
Turns out they had heard it as "Thug Ski".

That's right. Only OGs allowed

After epic I didn't join anything for quite a while because I couldn't find anything other than TG and I just don't like that site. When I searched I'd find Pugski but moved on and kept searching based on the name. Not trying to be negative but only one of my friends are here and she's not on often. When I mention it to my other friends they don't get it. Just sayin...

 

[Goose]

I just say..."I could tell ya, but then I'd have to kill ya"

And then first thing they naturally do is go home and google it. So it works very well.

 

[Uncle-A]

A while back someone asked if it was a Polish website. I said that "I think Phil Pug is an Italian and I am not sure about @Tricia" but it is all about skiing.

Boy, I thought it was very apparent to most Epic regulars that Phil and Tricia were starting their own site after they "left to pursue other opportunities". I think I joined about a week after launch.

I'm mostly Swedish.
