MauiSkiBus.com has two dogs that were born and raised on Maui along on this journey. Franklin, a male, is the world’s strongest Dachshund mix. That is a challenge to any other Dachshund mix on the planet. During the winter on Maui, he goes whalewatching and dives in the ocean trying to fetch a 40 ton whale. He [...]

Once upon at time, in far, far away land, lived this young peak of a lad called Haig, and had desired to have a king and his castle lie below his left flank. For what seemed an eternity of time, this desire was wished upon through the hardships of winters, through slides and slides of [...]

Time. Dripping away the moments that make up a dull day. You fritter and melt the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of frozen ice high in your hometown, waiting for someone or something to slow your diminishing way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to dread the rain. You were young and now life [...]

Pride. Is it slipping away with some? Reality TV shows seem to end with a bunch of bickering and crying. Is that real life? From the loggers fighting on the west coast to some east coast show about a NJ family, from being stuck on an island to traveling around the world, these shows are not [...]

The most popular restaurant chain in America has no formal name. No logo to recognize. No uniforms with a nametag on it. No sponsorship of any sports team, Nascar race, or media advertisement. They all have a common smell, one that starts from deep in the earth, transports through a pipeline, and then goes into a vehicle [...]

Vertical. The measurent of the distance between up and down. Stand here, look up to there, that is the vertical. Stand up there, look down here, that is still the vertical. High tech resorts can measure how many vertical feet one skis in a day. Some resorts advertise their vertical, their up and down. A [...]

A certain powder mixed just right, behind some lead,  ignited with a hammer of a trigger mechanism, aimed at the heart. Down, the furry beast went, to rot, to bleach, to waste. A pity, a [...]

MauiSkiBus.com’s  attempt to ski 100 different western USA/Canada resorts is more than a fun frustration of being a ski bum living on a tropical island. The Livestrong Cancer Foundation and the Maui United Way are both receiving national exposure and financial support through the sponsors of MauiSkiBus.com. The ski resorts themselves are getting needed positive exposure [...]

Star Wars. Have you seen it? The first one, or second, or third, more? Is it real? On Maui, it almost was. Close to being real without Hollywood’s help. On top of a 10,000 foot high crater called Haleakala, is science city, not really a city, but a controversial location of telescopes and lasers. The laser came [...]
