I want to play a game to relieve summer boredom.

Create your own ski company according to this formula. Come up with a subject, then create names for the brands top 5 selling skis. Names of the skis relate to the subject you choose.

The ski names cant be existing product names - if you would get sued if you actually made it, its not a valid name (just to make this interesting).

For extra credit, post a picture that would be your company's logo. For even more extra credit, design a topsheet for one of your company's skis.

Copy and paste, replace XXXXXX with your subject and ski names

(XXXXXXX) Ski Co.

1. Park Ski - "XXXXXXX"

2. All Mountain Twin - "XXXXXXX"

3. Powder Ski - "XXXXXXX"

4. Backcountry Ski - "XXXXXXX"

5. Wildcard slot (give dimensions and intended use) - "XXXXXXX"




Example:

This Thread's Future Participants Ski Co.

1. Park Ski - "The inb4 This Sucks"

2. All Mountain Twin - "The Troll"

3. Powder Ski - "The Basement Dweller"

4. Backcountry Ski - "The Internet Elitist"

does someone not wanna pay a marketing company for ideas? anyways mine would be Chad's Gap skis, and we would only have one ski called THBA, short for Tanner Hall's Broken Ankles and it would dominate the market so hard we wouldnt need any other skis, the top sheet would be a sequence of tanner hitting chad's gap and breaking his ankles and it would be 107 underfoot with normal camber and no rocker or any of that gay shit
