To allow time to board, you should try to arrive no later than 6:15 a.m. When boarding on our combined Copper/Breckenridge and Keystone/Arapahoe Basin, Vail/Copper trips be sure to let our driver know which of the optional resorts you plan to ski that day, as he will be separating the skis to avoid confusion and delay. Vail trips will leave from the Woodmen Park and Ride near 1-25 at 0600.

If we have less than 40 passengers 10 days prior to the trip, but at least 34 the bus will be converted to a 36 seat bus, if available and/or with riders approval, utilize a different transportation method. Otherwise, cancelled to obtain a refund without penalty. A waiting list will be utilized in case of illness or lack of reservations so that we can ensure 40 riders.

9. Refunds, if provided, will be based on a formula developed to ensure the Ski Bus program covers its costs. However, to ensure a refund you must cancel your reservation 10 days in advance. Just not showing up is unacceptable. Refunds are given within 48 hours of cancellation when done so through the Signup Genius at least 10 days before scheduled trip.
10. Each season we have several people who leave items on the bus or take the wrong stuff home. Please add some form of distinguishing markings to your bag to make it easier to pick out in the dark and double check that you have the right stuff. |
