I found it mildly annoying at first... but it's growing on me.
I kid, because I like you guys.

"Why, what did you hear?", "Were there witnesses?" and "I cannot confirm nor deny" are my top three.
I woke up one morning two days after the start of the Staffing Changes thread and found the Pugski.com url in my inbox.
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be anonymous or not so I won't mention the name, but a member on Epic who believed in us bought the URL and gifted it to us.
There were a handful of people who were instrumental in making Pugski happen, but none more than that person and Marcus.
So, my answer would be "other" I found Pugski in my inbox.

We like you because you kid.
I had links to EpicSki saved that showed the time line, but as you know those links don't work anymore.
It was first mentioned by @Blue Streak Later @MattL also mentioned it.
It was quite the joint effort, which is why it feels good to us. This is a community built by you.
I recall that I was pissed about how Phil and Tricia were let go from Epic (an epic fail if ever there was), and I was an early inhabitant here, while still retaining dual citizenship and spending some time on Epic. It became clear after a while that I was spending more time here.

I followed you and Tricia as soon as you got started.
I met the Pugs while skiing in a charity private lesson @ N* with a buddy who was on the D-Team. Mikey and my friend and I were headed down to the Martis lift, and of course Mikey being the ripper he is got there before us. Phil and Tricia were at the bottom of the lift, and apparently Tricia went over to Mike and said "Hey Mikey, why don't you ditch these losers and come ski with us?" Mike explained the situation and then said "... but they're really nice guys and I'm sure they'd be happy to have you join us." We were, and we were, and they did. The rest, as they say, is history...

Early on Epic was the site that people were on prior to logging on to Pugski then it quickly changed to where Google and Facebook blew past it. About half of our trafic comes directly from Google.
I made a gradual transition too.
It was certainly lucky for us that this place was well-established by the time they pulled the plug on Epicski.

I was an occasional lurker on Epic, mostly going there for gear beta. I noticed Phil's departing salvo and eventually checked out the new (Pugski) site and kinda fell into it. I had participated extensively in Telemark Tips when Mitch had it and now spend some time in Dostie's EYT bc forum and TGR. Pugski rounds things out nicely. Thanks to Phil and Tricia for making this happen.

Which then found me. Or told me. Something like that.
I was searching for ski reviews because I was planning on buying skis last year. I enjoyed reading the thorough reviews and then I read the articles on premium skis, then on bindings, and tuning, etc. Now I'm hooked and one of those "lurkers".
I signed up as an EpicSki refugee, but I found the site before that. I think it was a Google search for reviews of a specific ski.
