Whale watching season in California pretty much lasts year round, with gray whales migrating from November through April, and blue whales visiting from May through November. Humpback whales also join in the migratory path from about June/July to September. Well, we're approaching the end of May and that means that the blue whales are currently swimming along the California coast as I blog! The

As SunTrax is getting revamped for the summer season that's headed our way, we would like to ask our Trax-a-holics for destination suggestions! If you have a favorite beach that isn't featured on our site but know it should be on there, please feel free to comment here, tweet us, fb us, or email us at info@trax.com- we are opening up suggestions to launch more destinations that are catered to you

It feels like I just posted the anticipated opening dates of resorts not too long ago, and already MONTHS have flown by (literally, almost 5 months!) and ski resorts are starting to post their season closing dates. I know some of you avid snow lovers are still trying to squeeze in that last bit of skiing/snowboarding that is available, and the deals are still a-plenty! The end of the ski season

Many of us are probably at work, sitting behind our desk, and reading this on the computer on which we do our work for about 8 hours a day (possibly longer, in which case I feel for you). But the small percentage of our population that has the freedom to wander during this winter-to-spring transitional season is officially on, or about to begin, SPRING BREAK.

We just wanted to help point out some of the cool functionalities that we've added to the site that you may have not noticed just yet: 1. Lift Tickets!

This is a little outdated, but we thought it was funny while it lasted so here it goes! We received a holiday package from a certain law firm that our boss works with for his ventures. He brought in a GINORMOUS (literally ginormous!) box that he told us was chocolate. This box, I'd say, feels like it weighs a ton, and quickly we figured out that it was a large block of chocolate, not individual

Year in review- WOW. 2010 has gone by so fast with a lot of exciting things happening with SnowTrax and SunTrax. This year has been a crazy one, but worthwhile in retrospect.

It's almost Christmas (2 more weeks everyone!). The Trax office had a delightful surprise from the weather gods today- first snow of the season!

SnowTrax robustly enters the industry this year by providing users the option to search for drive-to ski destinations (and we all know that many times driving from point A to B is a whole lot cheaper than flying- besides, who can pass up all the fun games that you can play on a road trip?!).
