Day Bus Trips -- Rules and Regulations 
Revised November 2008

After signup - You will only be notified if you are NOT on the bus (due to the bus
being full or rain cancellation), at which time you will have the option to be put
on a waiting list. 
 
If for some reason the trip needs to be cancelled, you will be called. Please make
sure you include your phone number when filling out your reservation. Please also
make sure your phone number is correct. You may want to include a second phone 
number or a cell phone number on the slip. 
 
The bus meets in Newtown behind the Edmond Town Hall in the lower level parking 
lot. All members are asked to park on the left and back side of the parking lot.
This way the plows can clear the lot in case of snow. 
 
The bus meets in Southbury at the Exit 16 Commuter Parking Lot. Please have all
your equipment out of your car and ready to go on the bus - this is a quick stop.
At the end of the day we ask that you please try to make sure your equipment is 
within easy access, so you can get it off the bus without having to unload other
equipment. 
 
The bus makes no stops along the way. Knowing this, please bring any food and/or
beverages you will need for the trip to and from the mountain. 
 
There is a restroom on the bus. 
 
When we get to the ski area we ask that you wait on or next to the bus while the
Ski Trip Director gets and passes out the lift tickets. After you get your lift
ticket you are free to go. 
 
The club usually subsidized lessons. Anyone wishing to take a lesson please let
the Bus Trip Director know either on your reservation form or before the trip. 
 
There is usually a PG movie on the bus ride home. There is no movie in the morning,
due to most people wanting to get a little additional sleep. 
 
No ski boots can be worn on the bus. In the morning ski boots can be brought on
the bus and placed under the seats. At the end of the day, we ask that ski boot
be placed underneath with the skis. Snowboard boots may be worn on the bus. 
 
Please refrain from calling the Bus Trip Director at unreasonable hours - this includes
both the night before and the morning of the trip. 
 
When placing equipment in the storage bins under the bus, we ask that you please
try to keep all skis and snowboards together in one or two bins and leave the other
bin for coolers, boots, bags and other equipment. 
 
Please take the same seat for both the ride up and the ride back. 
 
Books, pillows, food for the ride home and such may be left on the bus during the
day. The club and/or the bus company is NOT responsible for these items. There 
will be no access to the bus during the day - please bring everything you need with
you into the lodge. 
 
WE NEED YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE THE BUS CLEAN - trash bags can be found in the
front and rear of the bus, check your area and take all trash and garbage with you
when you leave. 
 
Unless otherwise noted the bus leave promptly at 4:30 PM - 
 
Please note the bus number - we travel on Peter Pan buses, and sometimes there 
is more than one Peter Pan bus at the ski area. 
 
You must be a member of Winterset/Sterling to participate in the Day Bus Trips. 
 
Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. 
 
Anyone wishing to use Bulk Buy Lift Tickets on a trip may do so, please make note
of this when sending in your reservation. Also please remind the Day Bus Trip Director
of this before arriving at the mountain that day. 
 
BRING YOUR CLUB ID - we cannot purchase your lift ticket without it. 
 
If you cancel you will lose only the $15 bus seat fee - you will be refunded for
lift ticket and lessons
 
Yes, there does seem to be a lot of things to know about joining us for a Day Bus
Trip, most are common sense. We have a great time on these trips and hope that 
you join us. If you still have questions, or any comments, ideas or suggestions,
please email us and use the words "Day Trip" in the subject line.
 
Thanks and Happy Skiing!
