Hey Skiing friends! Skied today at Bolton Valley and I just want to let ya all know, the skiing was great!! Bolton still has lots of trails with lots of snow all groomed beautifully!! No lift lines. There is still plenty of great skiing left! Anyone skiing Friday?

We are taking new clients as space and time permits. We do book up super early for any school holiday (8-12 weeks) and we book out about 2 months for grooming. All of our daycare slots are currently full. What do you have for a pup??

I worked for Hank Huntington when the plant was up near the airport back in the late 70s-80s. I drafted and purchased. It was a fine tuned machine way back then and we put out some pretty decent housing. I wonder if it has changed much at all.

Davie has been having some trouble with WBC in his urine. :( Will probably end up having to be neutered next week. At least he feels just fine and is his usually happy boy!

Sure, what would you like to know? We are small, family run in Duxbury, VT. I have been involved in animals even as a child, started working for vets in HS, went to college for Vet Tech. Opened our kennel in 1990. My son who works with me also has a degree in animal science and business management.

LOVE it. You should fit in here just fine! I am a bit older than you (73) but still downhill ski as much as I can! Use to XC ski but downhill is just so much more fun to me! But then, been skiing since age 5 so it is second nature.

Lots of great mountain biking in Vermont!! I use to ride, but getting older and I don't bounce back after a fall so good anymore! Do you ski??
Grooming is right up my ally!! :) Ripanco Kennels.
