Trains are common in Europe for transportation for millions, trains stations in some countries live far in the past, others seem to predict the future. The USA uses trains more to haul manufactured goods, not human cargo. Both sides of the Atlantic, tracks mainly are above ground, at times, tunneling through mountains, rather traversing passes. What about an underground train, one with a lifetime value of $20 billion? Europe, nor the USA holds claim to this. But Kim did, as she mined, a burley job for any, especially underground.
In an area of British Columbia, not know really by many, had a watchful eye, a photographic eye maybe better stated, by a company that is declining like so many of the former mining companies that now have famous ski areas. Kodak, yes the Kodak, knew Kimberley, BC, buying all of silver mined under the now ski are named Kimberley Alpine Resort. Trains were the most efficient way to transport silver ore from underground and Kimberley still offers train rides and a modern feel of the old mining days.
This so friendly ski destination remembered MauiSkiBus, with most thinking that time had passed by just one year since the visit in 2012. Marketing Magic Meegan was well over the top, greeting MauiSkiBus with a huge smile, introducing all to the tropical ski bum, and spending time on the slopes of Kimberley. Pride runs rampant on the slopes of Kimberley, none more proud than 80 plus year old famous Mono Ski Bill, an inspiration to all complaining couch potatoes that skiing is too hard, too cold, too whatever. Adding to this eclectic mix, Racer Rob set MauiSkiBus up with the VIP of VIP parking spots, right in the plaza of vibrant energy at Kimberely. So many smiles were seen, maybe as many smiles as in a train station when it arrives on time!
