Quick Poll Question: (FB keeps taking away the useful tools, so no legit poll can be created on business pages anymore)

When traveling, I'm seeing more and more that it's become quite commonplace that text confirmation and reminders are being utilized for dining and activity reservations, as not everyone checks their email frequently when on holiday. Do you feel like this would be a useful addition, especially for reminders 24 hrs in advance of your tour, as opposed to email alone?

At the end of March last season, Billy Joel came out with his 2 little girls on a tour. His assistant dropped the ball, thinking she had booked a reservation when she did not. I bailed her out of a huge jam to make their tour happen during the heart of spring break. After mentioning I’d been a huge fan all my life, she invited us to be their guests for one of the monthly Madison Square Garden shows in NYC any time we wanted to come. Well, here we are on our anniversary weekend, side section right next to the stage.

We had 3 of the ladies from Real Housewives of SLC out for a tour last March when they came to Vail for a long weekend. I don’t know how much we will be in the episode, but the dogs should be making a guest appearance in the episode airing tonight. I had to promise not to post any photos on social media last spring b/c Jenny was a new cast for this season. (Whitney, me, Heather, and Jenny).

It is with great disappointment that I must announce that we are now closed for the 2020/21 tour season as of today. Just as we feared, 5-6 straight days of 50+ degree temps proved to be catastrophic to our trail system, as we now have a river of water running through it, which has breached the trail and started to wash it out. But that's what happens in April. You know exactly what's coming, you just hope that it doesn't happen today. We want to thank everyone that braved the unprecedented circumstances of this past year to come out and join us. We hope to see you all again next season!

We are looking for one or two handlers for the upcoming winter tour season. Must love dogs and be willing to put their needs as you top priority. You must enjoy working outdoors and some guiding experience is helpful, but not necessary. Parts of this job can be physically demanding at times, between handling dogs and carrying around full 5-gal pails in the snow. Must be reliable, have your own transportation, and live in or near Leadville.

We're looking for a handler for the remainder of the tour season. You will be working outside directly with the dogs and must be willing to put their needs and care as your top priority. You must live in or nearby Leadville, have reliable transportation, and be punctual and reliable. If you love dogs, like working outside, aren't afraid a little hard work, and early mornings, we want to hear from you.

Must be willing to commit to the remainder of the season through at least the end of March at minimum, most likely through mid-April. Also, there is a possibility to stay on as a summer kennel handler as well. You need reliable transportation as we are about 4 miles outside of town on Hwy 24.
