I don't have a car here on the island, so I pretty well cycle everywhere. Which is great, until I want to go skiing. But the Mount Washington Ski Bus fills the gap beautifully. No delays, easy pick up there and back. Thanks guys!

Had a great experience this past weekend taking using the Ski Bus to take my grand kids skiing at Mount Washington ski resort. The pick up location had free parking. Everything was right on time, up and down the mountain. Thanks!

Just moved here from Alberta last year and it's really nice to come down off the mountain and just let someone else get me home. It was a good snooze to Duncan. Cheers!.
