Weston and TINCUP Mountain Whiskey are releasing a limited run of skis and snowboards to support avalanche search and rescue dog teams. This artwork, designed by John Fellows, pays homage to Barry, a Saint Bernard adorned with the iconic whiskey barrel who is said to have saved over 40 lives in the early 1800s in the Swiss Alps and Tikka, his modern day Golden Retriever counterpart.
Through this collaboration with Tin Cup Whiskey and the National Ski Patrol, we'll be supporting the avalanche search and rescue dogs of the Colorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment (CRAD) team who respond to both resort and backcountry rescue operations as well as encouraging folks to cheers to those who make skiing and snowboarding safer and more accessible to millions of people every year.
