Take the bus to the slopes this winter

Have you picked up your ski pass for the season but haven't figured out the best way to get to the slopes? The CU Ski Bus provides students, staff and faculty an affordable and convenient way to get to the I-70 resorts and back without driving.

If you are planning to ski or ride some of the I-70 resorts, get on the CU Ski Bus. The Ski Bus provides students, staff, and faculty an affordable and convenient way to get to the ski slopes and back without driving. This season the Ski Bus will go to Arapahoe Basin, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail on different weekends from mid-November through early April.

Each Ski Bus trip picks up at 6 a.m. at Williams Village, 6:15 a.m. at Kittredge and 6:30 a.m. at Farrand Field. From campus, it heads to the specified resort, arriving when the resorts open. After a great day on the slopes, riders make it safely and effortlessly back to campus. 

There are a limited number of Ski Bus tickets available for each trip, and trips will often sell out far in advance. Tickets are $15 each, or $5 for Herd members. Some standby tickets are available for purchase on the morning of each trip (even on sold-out trips). Purchase at facebook.com/cuskibus.

If you are planning to make some turns on the local steeps at Eldora Mountain this season, RTD's Route N to Nederland—free with a student or employee buss pass—drops off and picks up at the mountain base every day of the week throughout the winter. See the N schedule at the RTD website.
