Commute, Connect, and Carve
Midweek Bus Groups
This January, join a unique community of fellow winter enthusiasts on our weekly midweek bus groups! Meet like-minded friends, find new ski buddies, and get to the mountain with ease and convenience. Choose from a multi-week bus pass to come up weekly throughout the winter or jump on as a single-day rider. By choosing the bus, you can enjoy front-row parking and drop-off, contribute to a greener environment, and avoid the stress of winter driving.

FIND YOUR PEOPLE
“I joined the Tuesday and Thursday ski buses over a decade ago. I was a self-employed working mom with a desire for adventure and not a current group of adventure buddies. Within a day on the bus, I had met a group of like-minded people of all ages and abilities who became instant friends and we have been adventuring around the world ever since. They say “yes” to life, whether it is helping you reach the next level of your sport, passing food and drink or dancing in the isle to stretch after a big powder day; they say “yes”. The support and friendship of the ski bus group changed my life today and always in a totally positive way.”
-Janet Perry, Crystal Mountain skier since 1990.
“I found my ski family on buses to Crystal. Up until 1988, I skied a few times a year, most of my friends had stopped skiing. In 1988, our neighbors suggested the Thursday Cascade Ski School bus to Crystal. Meeting new people that loved skiing was very special! In 1990, I looked for another bus to ride and found the Tuesday Tacoma Lawn and Tennis Club bus. I had now met another group of people who welcomed me into their group! 34 years later, we all hike, golf, travel, and support each other when we’re not at the mountain. What a ride it’s been!”
