got a good ski name?

[eastcoastpowderhound]

With widths from 74 to 84, they'll be more used as frontside carvers in the lower widths with the wider ones used as one-ski-quiver types. But, since they will be seen as on-piste oriented skis (as compared to off-piste fat skis in the 90 plus range), perhaps an allusion to skiing's racing heritage would be good. Old school races like the Inferno or the Thunderbolt might be a good starting point then skis would be classified according to width (e.g., Inferno 74, Inferno 80, Inferno 84, etc.).

inferno...liking that! :flame: (good flame) great flashback to skiing heritage too.

Glad you did. You can complete it by having graphics using pictures from the old races.

there are no race skis, just a men's all mtn series.

So name them after mountain creatures

Big Foot, Little Foot, Sasquatch, Yettie, etc...

 

[ComeBackMudPuddles]

i like alliteration....

Powder Poacher
Mogul Muncher
Bump Buster
Crud Cruiser
Trick Turner


edit: i guess none of these are for an all-mtn ski....

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

stop crapping where I eat or I'll find some undertaker website and start posting about how stupid expensive headstones are...after all, its just a freakin rock you dragged outta the ground and then polished up and slapped an obscene mark up on to take advantage of people when they are most voulnerable.

Best come back ever?

not bad...I like it better for a big mountain series though...Sasquatch would make a good name for a ski thats over 100mm under foot...Yettie for a early rise/rockered fat pow ski, Big foot for a mid 90s waist and little foot for the mid 80s.

Great book. I'm waiting for the film to come out. I hope it comes out.

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

okay, so far the "inferno" series is topping the list...thanks snowmonster. So, all the rest of you, keep those thinking caps on and lets see if we can come up with something even better. The winner will get bragging rights...and a token of appreciation from the ski company looking for the name.

 

[deadheadskier]

Maybe I'm partial towards my own suggestion, but I find Inferno to similar to Nordica's Afterburner

Yeah but, the name Inferno is suggested for a series of skis. Afterburner is a model in the Hot Rod series.

dude shut up already, I want bragging rights :lol:

Alright, I'll concede I'm losing the popularity contest with the Autobahn series. If you white bread Americans can't see the the cross cultural appeal for both sides of the pond that the Autobahn series represents, well, I can't help you there. Some people in life pretend to know what's cool or be cool and then there are others who create cool. Pretty clear which group I fall in. :lol:


So, I'm going to have to reach into my creativity bag and unleash my secret weapon. I was planning on saving this for a big mountain ski series as that will be my next ski need, but alas; I have no choice as quite frankly, I don't like to lose.

The series name to end all series names that will be sure to make it the most sought after and best selling ski series in the world for that lucky manufacturer is
































wait for it......







































GNARVELOUS!!!!


:lol:



mar·vel·ous also mar·vel·lous (märv-ls)
adj.
1. Causing wonder or astonishment.
2. Miraculous; supernatural.
3. Of the highest or best kind or quality; first-rate:


EVERYONE would want a Marvelous ski when they're shredding the GNAR

LO freakin L...that deserves a ski of its own...I'll talk with the guys at 4Frnt and see if we can make it the DHS pro model! :beer:

 

[deadheadskier]

maybe have two models

one representing the east side in the 94-100ish waist range and one representing the west side in a 110

let me know when you'll need a digital copy of my signature

 

[mattchuck2]

GNARVELOUS!!!!

Wow, I was just going to say something like that . . .

I was thinking about using the word "Gnar" like K2 uses the word "Piste" in their Tele line (Totally Piste, Piste Off, She's Piste, etc.)

I thinking the top of the line ski should be call the A-Gnar-hilator

 

[Beetlenut]

How about a Flintstone's line of skis?

The Yabba - 74mm
The Yabba Dabba - 79mm
and...
The Yabba Dabba Do - 84mm :razz:
