Easier to explain to my wife than ”wetpixel” ... (forum for underwater photography).

An online forum for ski schmucks.

TBH, I don't offer up that I'm on Pugski. I might say I'm on a ski forum. I rarely offered up that I was on Epic, either. I did put Epic stickers on my skis, but don't like the Pugski logo colors or the name, so no stickers.

But then you probably guessed that. I also cut back on skiing with visiting forum members substantially. In fact, if you haven't already skied with me, it's highly unlikely that will change. (See @Fuller).

On the flip side...I was at Squaw today and someone shouted out to me....

Him: "Hey Pugski!!!!"
Me: Yeah?
Him: Do you know Tricia?
Me: Yeah...I know her.
Him: Cool.
Me: Yeah, cool.

And we both skied off.

When there’s a gathering in town it seems like lots of people want to know “what’s Pugski?” we do make an impression. I usually explain it’s like a ski club only internet based, we have a really active forum, equipment and ski reviews from unbiased testers, our members are from all over the country (world). I am here with sixty or more of my friends to ski you should check this out.

As they say "behind every successful man is his wife" and we all appreciate @Tricia and her contribution to PUGSKI.

I've had someone ask if I owned pugs, the dogs. Other people think it's some Polish thing.

I am glad that my wife and I got to ski with you.

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". :roflmao:

That's right. Only OGs allowed :P

@Tony S 's post about Pugski.com sighting got me wondering............How do you respond when other skiers or other people in general ask "What's Pugski.com" when they see a sticker or logowear? As the season winds down this could be a fun topic!
I tell them I used to be on a site called Epic Ski. When it shut down many migrated to Pugski.com that is a site for all things ski related and now bikes as well. There are ski area forums and gear reviews. There is also a used ski equipment forum and now a biking forum. I tell them I especially like the cage match comparison reviews that review equipment vs other equipment such as ski, boots, bindings. I also say that the members often have get togethers etc and that they should take a look at it. And that for me it is a very enjoyable and informative site.

Despite my conspicuous display of the many stickers I was so generously provided, it’s never come up. People don’t tend to talk to me; I guess I’m scarier-looking than I realize. :wave:

Pugski.com is the leader in skiing reviews, news, and discussion. Our reviews are interactive, allowing consumers, retailers, and manufacturers to discuss gear with our testers. Our forums include a wide range of skiing topics and even biking discussion, particularly in the off-season.

Or some version of this, is what I use.

To my patroller friends, "It's how you get to demo some of my skis. Sign up and donate. :)" Some have.

Only patrollers get to demo skis?...
