Happy Anniversary SkiTalk.com

[Tricia]

As the Earth tilts on its axis and we're getting ready to immerse ourselves in ski season we celebrate the 8th anniversary of this site.
It originally started on November 12, 2015, with the help of @Spooky.
Many of you know the history of how this site launched as Pugski.com, which we rebranded SkiTalk.com on November 12, 2020.
We couldn't have luanched Pugski.com without the help of those of you who donated to get it going, @SBrown @Spooky for putting sweat equity building the back end and fine tuning/editing. You made us look good.
Thanks to @Dwight for continuing to keep the site humming along and all the moderators for continued help. The product testers who continue to produce well thoughtout reviews, @Wendy for her help behind the scenes with our writing staff.
We have some special things coming this year including the huge contest, our official leap year anniversary, and a Tahoe gathering that will bring you all to our back yard.



Here is a list of some of our celebrations we've had over the years.

So we'll hit 1,000,000 posts in 2024! Neat.

Maybe there should be a prize or something.

Ski Talk has been an important part of each day for me from almost the first day of its existence. A big shout out to Tricia, Phil, and all the others who make this my year long ski connection.
