I am going on a ski trip with a group that's taking a charter bus. There is supposed to be a storm coming to the east coast with maybe 4+ inches where I am headed. Do buses go through most winter weather or is there a possibililty that they might cancel?? We are headed to Wintergreen in Virginia and its about a 3 hour drive. TThanks
You can't drive 3 hours and are taking a bus? Tune the skiblades, and air-dry the rear-entries...........
Four inches--watch out.
Troll alert...
Hire TJ as your driver. He'll monitor your beer consumption, scold you when needed, and score with the hottest chicks.
He's a walking ski movie!Quote:

If that's your first post, this does not bode well.
If a bus driver in Montana couldn't figure out chains, imagine how prepared a driver going to Wintergreen, VA will be!
Maybe the dude wants to get piss-stinking drunk on the way home. A lot more fun that driving 3 hrs if you ask me!Quote:

Scary, thinking the same damn thing. Took many a ski trip on a bus, and the coolers in the back were the best part. Good ole PA ski trips. A good decade ago now.Quote:

Word of advice: WATCH YOUR ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ON THE BUS! DO NOT BE THE "PUKE-BOY" ON THE WAY UP! You won't make any friends, and the stigma will carry with you through the weekend, if not longer.
