Dave is getting really antsy waiting for snow. Just got back from a “hard” day of curling in Quebec yesterday afternoon, laid down for a NASCAR nap, and the phone rings. It’s Dave in the shop working on our new plastic welder. Drag my tired butt off the couch and out there with him for Read More…
Dave & I have been making lots of Dodge Ski Boot carbon fiber parts and, being anxious for winter, we’re trying on boots and researching/playing. I intially thought I’d be skiing on a 275mm shell as I wear a size 10 1/2 shoe and my old, old boots are 28.5s. But, using a lace-up race Read More…
Dave & I were flying. Made lots of Dodge Ski Boot parts, especially for 255s. Looking really good. Also did some see-through boots for PJ to use with boot fitting. Now if we get some snow, we can get out and use the boots. Getting anxious. John coming home for Thanksgiving break. Hockey tomorrow morning Read More…
rises way south of Mt. Mansfield. In summer, viewing the sunrise from the shop shows the sun rising far north of Mansfield. But in winter, it’s over Bolton. Should be a busy day at Dodge Ski Boots today. Making a bunch of carbon fiber parts for 265 boot shells. Also working on a “see-through” shell Read More…
After a busy and productive day Friday building Dodge Ski Boots, took yesterday and did a little tour through Waterbury, Stowe and back. Went to the mountain and got season pass. No snow and raining hard. Be tough to open next Saturday. Stopped in to see PJ. Busy in his shop. Hope to have him Read More…
Good heavy frost this morning. One of the newly-made Dodge Ski Boots escaped from the shop and I found it playing in the frosty grass, dreaming of skiing!
Please take a moment to say “Thanks” to a veteran today. A gorgeous day in Vermont. Cool, blue sky, lots of sun. Grass is gedtting brown and leaves are gone. Still geese in the pond so it’s not quite winter. But Dave says the snowmaking at Mansfield is sneaking down the mountain. Another busy day Read More…
It’s always the way, isn’t it? Friday was cold with snow flurries, so I put winter tires on the cars Saturday. Sunday was nearly 70 degrees. T-shirt weather. And, another south wind blowing today. I probably jinxed ski season by already buying my season pass, too. Seeing a lot of activity on one of the Read More…
There is snow in the mountains and snow in the air. Looks cold on Mansfield, Camels Hump, Mt. Ellen, Bolton etc. And, it really does smell like snow. Won’t be surprised to see some flurries when Dave & I are working on boots this afternoon. Have you seen that the Dodge Ski Boot is featured Read More…
Good day of playing hockey. Saw the U-Mass Lowell team arrive at Gutterson and tried to put the hex on them. Go Ben! Hope you get some playing time. Made a bunch of boot parts for 275s and 265s today. Just need Dave to work the magic with the laser cutter. Lots of snow flurries. Read More…
