Bus Fare

The fee for the bus is $25.00, $10 for the northern stops.

No Reservation Fee

Please remember to reserve by Thursday at 8:00 pm. There is a $5 fee for failing to reserve; that is, bus fee without reservation is $30.

No-Show Fee

The Club finds it necessary to charge a $15 fee to those who cancel after Friday, 8:00 p.m. or who do not show up on the bus.  No-shows make it difficult on all involved in planning the day's skiing and may deprive another person of a seat on the bus.  If, after booking in, you find that you cannot go skiing, please phone the answering service with your cancellation.

Car Pools

On rare occasions when there are not enough skiers to justify a bus, car pools will be arranged.
 

Reserving a Seat on the Bus

We're not taking bookings on-line so you'll have to call the bus reservation line if you're booking a seat on the bus or skiing with us.  Please follow the procedure for booking a Bus Reservation.
 

Saturday Afternoon Confirmation

On rare occasions, the Club has found it necessary to cancel Sunday skiing due to extreme weather conditions (or change to car pooling).  We suggest that you call the Bus Reservation Line on Saturday after 12:00 noon for an updated message (416- 201-4684).  If you did not reserve a spot earlier in the week, there may be a message indicating whether or not there are still seats available.
