MauiSkiBus route through Canada out of Golden, British Columbia went through the Rogers PassĀ with a height a little over 4,000 feet high. To Colorado standards, this is not a pass, it does not even register as anything, as numerous passes in Colorado are over 10,000 feet. However, Rogers Pass, was the most dangerous pass MauiSkiBus has driven. Holes in the road are everywhere, that even a dreaded chuckhole seems small. Trying avoid them is not as easy as it seems, as the road is two lanes, and the semi-truck drivers never passed road tests. MauiSkiBus drove this pass at 1:00am, with Gykaiya sitting in the front seat scanning the road for deer.
MauiSkiBus had to pass by a resort, and pass by it did.{See previous} Out of this town MauiSkiBus went and around a soft bend was a nordic ski center, named Mt. McPherson. Upon pulling into the parking lot, the thought of the passed un-Aloha alpine resort passed away. A an Aloha giving Romanian welcomed MauiSkiBus to his little gem of a location under the towering peak of Mt. McPherson. This unplanned switch of ski resrots turned out to be a day for the dogs, as they were allowed to do waht dogs love best, and run and smell and snif and leave their own doggies scents all over the surrounding woods.
Thanks is given to Mt. McPherson Nordic Center from the two four legged dogs of MauiSkiBus.
