  • Happy Tuesday,

    It’s always nice to meet up with family over a good meal, and I did just that on Thursday. It was a bit much, though, to drive all the way down to Columbia County, NY and back to central Vermont in one day.

    I always take the most direct but slowest way, taking route 100 to 7 all the way to Hillsdale, where my grandparents live. The fog was so thick and the sun so bright leaving the Mad River Valley that morning that I stopped in town for a pair of cheap sunglasses, having lost mine a few days earlier. As the day went on, it cleared up beautifully and I enjoyed making headway through a hefty backlog of my favorite podcasts.

    There are tons of deals to be had right now at “smalldog.com”:http://www.smalldog.com and in our stores, including from the tech rooms. Hard drive upgrades have been especially popular so far this year. Swing by and find out how to squeeze the most from your Mac!

    As always, thanks for reading, and keep in touch.

  • The holiday retail season is well under way and it is unbelievable that we will be entering into the next decade in fewer than 30 days. The retail staff at both stores has been busy rearranging displays, showcasing specials and putting everything into ship-shape. Our purchasing department worked extremely hard during the fall months loading Small Dog to the rafters with many fine and diverse gifts for your friends and families. If you are like me, you will probably find something cool for yourself as well.

    The holidays also bring the beginning of winter sports season in Vermont. Many of us moved to the Mad River Valley and Vermont in general to take advantage of the extraordinary winter sport opportunities that the Green Mountains offer. Our Waitsfield retail showroom is located an easy 10 minute drive to both the Mad River Glen and Sugarbush ski areas while Stowe is less than 1 hour north and Killington is 1 hour south. Snowshoers, dog teams, and snowmobilers are often seen enjoying the groomed VAST trails behind our offices. Stop by and say hi the next time you are passing by on the way to the mountain!

    Cheers,

    Tony
