GO SKI
There’s nothing like fresh-powder days with your canine by your side. Bounding down the mountain together, you get to experience the thrill and share a quiet stretch of trail that makes winter feel wide-open and wild.
Here’s what Ruffwear employees Evan & Oliver love most about skiing together.
The GO: "Oliver and I love to go bounding through the snow together -- whether that be splitboarding, snowmobiling, or just a snowy hike."
The GIFT: "The Gift is seeing that first entranced look on Oliver's face when his paws first sink into soft snow and he gets the automatic zoomies. I deeply appreciate the way he excitedly taps his feet when I pull his snow jackets out, the way he barks at me to move faster when he sees me put on my snow boots, and how he spins in circles the second the snowmobile turns on. However, the real gift is confidently knowing he will be warm enough to join me on my outdoor adventures and being able to share my favorite hobbies with my dog year-round."
