We have the best customers

March 3rd, 2010

Last week we received the most amazing present in the mail from a customer of ours in New York.  Apparently, one of our order fulfillment specialist (a.k.a. warehouse dude) was feeling fresh one day when we were shipping the customers order and made mention of a beer that is brewed in the customers home town on the packing slip included with the product the customer ordered.  Sure enough a week later a fresh 12 pack of delicious Utica Club beers arrived in the mail from the customer with a note saying we put a big smile on her face.  Well Jeanine let me tell you the smile you have put on all of our faces here at the worldwide webquarters!  We are only wondering if you want the cans back for the deposit $.

In this time of Olympic displays of prowess the finally tuned athletes/ski bums in Jackson Hole participated in the age old Jackson tradition of Gelande Quaffing.  This is an actual competition with prizes for the winners, but it looks like everyone was a winner this year.

Technical Wear

February 25th, 2010

tech-ski-wear-1I had the opportunity to spend some time with TVS Repair Technician Eric “Junior” Cohen and TVS Ambassador Courtnee Wilhite on a slack-country tour last weekend.  We had a fantastic tour around the block.   The photo above is a great example that TVS folks are great product testers.  They participate in all kinds of outdoor activities at many different levels.  Notice Courtnee and Eric are rocking  outerwear from The North Face.  TVS folks love The North Face’s gear.  It should come as no surprise to anyone that their outwear performs at the highest levels here in Jackson Hole.  What I did not know until Courtnee and Eric educated me was that The North Face makes a highly technical line of pancake wear.

Plaid Millers1Sure the Norwegians look fantastic in their Loudmouth Golf Dixie pants, but look at the two Miller boys in their Loudmouth blazers.  Gorgeous!  If you don’t own a pair of Loudmouth Golf pants you are missing out.  We have been selling them for almost a year and they are perfect for every occasion.  Especially cocktail parties.
