I have two excellent days of skiing at Whistler/Blackcomb and should have paid the $50 for a 50% off third day; the resort is so huge there just wasn’t time to explore all of it. To get to and from the ski area (the HI doesn’t have Ski In/Ski Out access or a free shuttle) […]

The reason for coming out to the Pacific Northwest is to use up my two already paid for days of skiing on my Mountain Collective Pass at Whistler/Backcomb. The largest ski area in North America! I considered booking a through Amtrak Throughway ticket to Whistler the fares seem to very a bit. I didn’t end […]
For my Saturday in Seattle I didn’t really ride any transit that’s website worthy, although I did take a Washington State Ferry. I spent the morning first going to the Seattle Science Center because its on my Transit Museum Membership (a member of the ASTC passport program). As an adult I wouldn’t have spent money […]
This post is part four of Spring Skiing Spring Break. I buy my Mariners ticket and walk back up to King Street Station–(8 Photos) and walk over the overpass to the Sounder island platform that is separate from the regular station. I board the second Tacoma-bound train (this becomes the second reverse peak direction train and […]
This post is part three of Spring Skiing Spring Break. Introduction: Tuesday night before my trip I’m visiting the Sound Transit website and notice an alert that through September (the website says they began on April first, but when I check later the website says starting April 9th) the region is piloting an ORCA Day Pass […]
This post is part two of Spring Skiing Spring Break. I sit and relax for 20 minutes eating the bagel I packed at home and forgot to eat on the subway. I eventually decide to get up and walk the new long pier that replaced the Pan Am Terminal that has been nearly demolished to […]
In Mid-April I went on a long Spring Break trip, I meant to write updates during my trip but getting grad school work got the better of me for writing during the trip. Introduction: Ever since I bought my Independence ski pass that I skied three of my six free areas on back in January […]
I had a chance today to write two more Caltrain Stations as I continue dashing north to San Francisco, the last two in the core of San Mateo County (Bayshore is on the border): South San Francisco–(48 Photos) San Bruno–(46 Photos)
I’ve finally gotten the huge intermodal station Millbrae–(page rebuilt with 74 Photos) in the San Mateo County done. It’s a stop that should have been built differently in my opinion and ideally would be a modern Jamaica Station combining BART Caltrain and Airtrain SFO. It would have been much cheeper and more convenient to extended Airtrain […]
Graduate School has gotten the better of me and I can’t believe its been about 3 weeks without an update! This one is simple and obvious, continuing up Caltrain the final few stops before Millbrae: Broadway–(45 Photos) Burlingame–(60 Photos) San Mateo–(40 Photos) Enjoy!
