Tis’ a rough tough life, of toil and strife, we whalermen undergo,
And we don’t give a damn, when the gale is done, how hard the winds did blow,
For we’re homeward bound, from the Artic grounds, with a good ship taught and free
And we won’t give a damn when we drink our rum with the girls of ole’ Mowee
Rolling down to ole’ Mowee, me boys, rolling down to ole’ Mowee
We’re homeward bound, from the Artic grounds, rollin’ down to ole’ Mowee
“Get along lil’ doggies, get along, for I sit high on this stallion, awatching you,
Get along lil’ doggies, get along, for I no like this stallion to be akicking.”
The whalers of the past decimated the Pacific whale population in just a decade during the 1860′s. Maui was the winter port they used to escape the same winter storms that modern day skiers wish for. The above lyrics are from a song describing their anticipation to arriving in Lahaina, Maui. The last two sentences describe a resort at the end of the seventys for MauiSkiBus.com.
Did the Kicking Horse powder stallion buck off these riders?
The Powder Highway is a circle route of ski resorts in the up and coming international ski destination in British Columbia. Many of the ski resorts here have names that are not as well known as the great ski resorts of Europe and the USA West. This herd of newer resorts has a stallion, one that doesn’t buck, but has hooves that kick, kicking hooves that reach to the skies, releasing buckets full of powder.
RCR, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, represents this stallion with those hooves that kick, a fine speciman of a ski resort, on this golden highway of powder. The rider to tame and direct this kicking stallion, a stellar star of RCR, Magic Matt, made sure that MauiSkiBus.com was set-up right for the visit to this horse, with kicking hooves of powder. Add in a bronco rider, Eric, a fit lass in blue jeans, Miss Jess, and Kicking Horse, British Columbia, will rise, rise high, closer to those buckets of snow powder.
Robert Plant can sing this song and Claire can plant and ski this song.
MauiSkiBus.com did a visit to the ski patrol at the top of the gondola, shared ski stories, and was invited by the sweetest ski voiced lady, Bianca, to hike with her and Matt, to the Ter Mi Na Tor Sum Mit One, to drop into to some fresh untrack powder, delivered by that kicking horse. A top to bottom ski run was to begin, MauiSkiBus.com having thighs asking why? This is Kicking Horse, beware of those top to bottom runs, beware of that stallion, that stallion that will kick your @$$!
