This question is for women only. If you're a dude and you have a woman/girl in your life who isn't a member here, and would like to relay her thoughts after you ask her this question, please do so, but do not add your personal thoughts to this thread. This is why.
I was recently at a trade show and got involved with a discussion amongst a handful of men about ski names and graphics and how relatable they are to women. These guys were specifically talking about brands that have a model for men and use the same name with a W for women.
For instance, the women's version of the Brahma is the Black Pearl, Rossignol had the Experience line for men and Temptation line for women, but now its just Experience and Experience W.
This group of men asked me, because I was the only woman in the conversation, what my thoughts are and to be quite honest, I think I'm not the right woman to ask because I'm so immersed into the ski world that its not a big deal to me one way or the other.
One of the guys in the group suggested that we get some other women to chime in, and this is why I'm asking for female feedback only in this thread. These guys really want to know what women think.
Thank you to our amazing Pugski men for understanding.
I'm going to add a few models and pictures. Any feedback you can give would be great, about any or all of these, names and/or graphics
Fischer - Instead of Ranger W, they add a My to the front of the ski name
Fischer My Ranger (This is a primary ski that brought this conversation to the forefront, because someone asked if a women relate to the name Ranger)
Dynastar Legend W
