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 snow, and the scars of an evolutionary western wind. Just as hope was to diminish away, a man of a king stature arrived and created a castle, one the young peak Haig could admire. This castle also was to evolve, to be molded by more than the king. Multitudes of hands had an input and voice on the addition of wings to the castle, of mobile peasant quarters, and colorful lifts to send all to view the peak of the Haig. The king was to pass, his vision to live on, and success was to be shared to the youth under the Haig. The sun did rise, sending its rays to show all, that with a wish and a vision, all under the Haig can live happily ever after.
The King of Castle Mountain, Alberta, RIP, never wanted a tyrant rule here.
At the entry to this royal kingdom, herds of deer grazed and stared at the yellow bus on wheels pass by, while the canine guards of MauiSkiBus were licking and drooling in an appetite delight. MauiSkiBus was given a royal purple welcome to a modern day ski castle that caters to their peasants that ski or snowboard. Lookers left will reveal the Haig on the Mt., a snow cats delight, lookers left leads to the double diamonds, and lookers right leads eyes to see glades, perfect for those turns of upper class.
MauiSkiBus was approached by June, a travel writer from Ontario, Canada, at Castle Mountain, Alberta
Beginners here quickly become experts, as this Castle of a Mountain has the terrain to train by day and by night. Like what happens to all that snow from a plowed parking lot? At Castle Mountain, Alberta, it is molded into a night time terrain park, used long after slope side snow melts away. An Drew from the marketing dept. and Sir Dar Ryl from the current ruling court of the Castle 8, showed MauiSkiBus the royal corriders of the Castle kingdom. Bank account not full of gold? Castle has quarters for a bit above a quarter of a C note. Expect to recieve lodging far above dungeon status, as Madame Belle, eyes creative and focused, will assure all of that.
Castle Mountain, Alberta, Canada, was the first of many ski resorts MauiSkiBus.com will visit on its adventure to attempt to ski 100 different ski resorts in the western USA/Canada during the winter of 2011/2012.

THE MAUI SKI BUS LANDED AT CASTLE MOUNTAIN
RESORT
Steve Fisher’s quest to ski 100 resorts this
season brings the Maui Ski Bus to Castle.
You might be saying to
yourself how do the words Maui, Ski and Bus end up in the same sentence let
alone the same phrase. Well, the folks at Castle Mountain Resort learned that
when you combine a yellow customized bus with two dogs and a true life
adventurer/explorer, who all come from Maui, you get the unique experience of
“The Maui Ski Bus.’
Steve Fisher and his
dogs Gykaia (I am not sure about the spelling) and Frankie all live in Maui,
usually. However, this winter Steve is on the quest to ski 100 ski resorts in
one season and the dogs are his tireless co-pilots in the pineapple powered bus.
Castle Mountain was stop number 73 for the Maui Ski Bus and within minutes, no
seconds, of arriving at the resort, Steve had made some new friends. It is tough
to keep a low profile when you have license plates from Hawaii and there is a
piece of a surf board hanging out the back of the roof rack that converts into a
dance floor.
Steve arrived on a day
that had Mother Nature working hard to confuse everyone. There was 33 cms of
fresh powder up top yet the bottom was receiving snow that was about 0.005 C
away from being rain. The wind was grooming the mountain and causing havoc in
the operations of the Red Chair. So there was EPIC powder in spots at the top
and spring like conditions in the base while our night-time grooming machine
(the wind) was working all day. He was able to get to the top to experience what
was described as “one of the best runs of the season” by our new friend from
Maui.
As quick as they showed
up, they were on the road again to get to resort number 74 and the next day
resort number 75. If you are interested in checking out the Maui Ski Bus website
