SKI BUS to
COPPER MOUNTAIN + VAIL !


Pick up:  Federal Center RTD Station 
11601 West 2nd Place, Lakewood



Join us for a truly fun experience with your UTC friends and guests on the weekly “Snow-ffeur” Day bus!  The day buses are a great way to get up to the ski areas and socialize with other members and guests. The Ski bus is a luxury motor coach that can accommodate up to 50 people. The bus has a bathroom, great scenic views, plenty of leg room, and usually can drop us off right by the ski lifts.

NEW THIS YEAR:
For the morning drive up we will provide just water on the bus. It is just too much work and expense to keep providing coffee, fruit, yogurt, for the morning. Please plan on bringing your own. For the drive home we will still have beer, wine, and snacks available for bus riders. Also, in order for the bus to run we need at least 30 people to have signed up for it by 12 noon the Wednesday before the Saturday that the bus is scheduled to run or we will cancel it.


Meeting Spot: RTD Federal Center Station - 11601 West 2nd Place in Lakewood.
Departure Time: 6:30AM – Plan on arriving 30 minutes prior to departure!  If you can not be on time, then be early!  Lift tickets are NOT included.

Look for the Arrow Stage Lines bus at the south east corner of the parking lot by South Routt Street and 2nd Place. The bus will drop off at Copper Mountain at approximately 9:00 A.M., then continue onward and arrive at the Transportation Center in Vail at 9:40 A.M. (Some buses will have a group that does Cross Country Skiing or Snow Shoeing.)
On the ride home the ski bus will leave Vail at 4:30 P.M., pick up at Copper Mtn at 5:00 P.M. and arrive back in Denver at approximately 7:30 P.M., weather and traffic permitting
