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. Everything was right on time, up and down the mountain. Thanks!
