Travel with Raja, pet travel advice, airplane travel tips, travel with my dog, how do I travel with my pet, Raja, shitzu, dogs
 
It’s not hard to find hotels, condos and B&B’s that are dog friendly in the ski town of Stowe, Vermont.  There are lots of dogs trotting about Stowe all the time and the hotels have reached out to travelers who want their pets to have a nice holiday.  In fact, there are so many pet friendly accommodations, that I can’t even recommend any for fear of snubbing so many great places.  Google and you will find them. 

During the winter, dog dining is going to be restricted since dogs do not get into restaurants and all the outdoor cafes are covered in snow.  Nevertheless, a doggy who has a nice cozy condo, a warm sweater and snow boots can have a great winter vacation in Stowe. 

Some dogs work in the winter season.  Dog Carting (you sit in a cart and an enormous dog pulls you), Skijoring (you put on your cross country skis, get your poles, harness up a big dog or two and try to have him pull you without stabbing him or falling and being dragged) and Dog Sledding (yeah, just like the Iditarod) experiences are rentable.  Everybody says the dogs love to run and run and run while pulling things.  And, indeed, they may.  One wonders how much snow dogs like running while pulling amateurs down paths where they may have to shimmy aside for snowmobilers.  Big responsibility.  I’m sure the dogs see it as a professional challenge.  Raja says it can’t possibly be fun, but he’s not wired to run straight ahead forever at top speed when off leash.  Obviously snow dogs are bred and born. 

Stowe was established in 1763, but it was Swedish immigrants who began skiing in 1913 on Mt.Mansfield.  The first formal ski trails were cut 20 years later, but they still do not go all the way to the peak.  If you’re adventuresome, you can take the Gondolier from the Midway Base Lodge as far as it goes and then hike up to the peak (about 800 feet more) and ski the whole length. In summer your dog can take that hike with you, but it’s pretty harsh in winter.  And speaking of “pretty”, the place is just beautiful.  Less than a mile high, none of the mountain is above the tree line so all views feature lovely tall pines and glistening white birches.  You probably won’t see a moose or a black bear except as the ubiquitous motif in your condo. But those are the native wildlife and one can always hope for a not-too-close encounter. 

Raja liked Stowe; so did I; you will too.

Thank you Helen and Raja for sharing your trip to Stowe with us. It looks like you had a great time in the snow. We have seen sled dogs pulling here in Michigan, they were very happy pulling the sled. Our agility instructor does sledding. Her dogs get all excited when they get to pull her sled. Our mom keeps telling us we are NOT sled dogs when we pull on our leashes. We really like your video, mom let us watch with her.
