In Memory of Sluff Dog

Sluff was part of the PCYA family from the very beginning until her passing in 2025. This beloved Tibetan Terrier accompanied countless adventures, keeping guests smiling and moving on the trail. Sluff loved chasing sticks, bounding through snow, and practicing her signature yoga routine: up dog, down dog, and a full-body shake. She remains an unforgettable part of our story and will always be with us in spirit on the trails.

Zima – Chief Happiness Officer

Zima joined the PCYA family in 2025 and is quickly following in Sluff’s paw prints. Her name means “winter” in Slavic, a fitting tribute to our love of snow, mountains, and adventure. Whether she’s exploring trails, chasing sticks, or rolling in fresh powder, Zima brings joy and energy to every adventure and is always ready to greet guests with a wagging tail.
