The Snow Is Here! And We’re Ready.
On Tuesday night, we had our first dusting of snow. This weekend, we have more in the forecast and I think winter is finally here. The store looks great – we are ready to launch our winter activities as soon as we get enough of the white stuff on the ground.
But first things first: This weekend, stop in at Midwest Mountaineering and visit Scott and Melissa, who will be at our booth. We are going to have our new Marquette skis there, and you can look at what we are going to use for our backcountry and river skiing trips. Also, pick up info on our upcoming ice fishing trips – more info will be posted here, too.
Other new items in the shop are our Lowepro camera packs. An interesting addition to their line is the new Field Station. This is a waist pack with a small table inside, that will hold your birding book or iPad – great for any of you who are into birding.
We are also awaiting the arrival of new GoPro cameras. These cameras are waterproof down to 180 feet, and can be used as both a still and movie camera. This is the camera that Ann and Natalie used on their Hudson Bay trip.
Our heavier jackets and parkas are here, and this year we will start carrying the RAB line of technical outerwear – this is high quality, tough apparel. We also have our core products from Marmot, Mountain Hardware, I/O Bio (now called IO Merino), Terramar and of course Wintergreen … just to name a few.
For our “old school” customers (like me) we have some nice Stormy Kromer shirts and jackets – and don’t forget Orivis and Ex Officio for those of us that are harder to fit due to longer arms (and, well, larger bodies).
Come on up and visit! We are gearing up for Santa’s arrival next week, on the day after Thanksgiving. He’ll be here with his sled dogs and will be available for pictures with kids both young and old. And who knows, there may even be some special pricing. You’ll have to come in and see!
