Salida Recreation ski bus to Monarch has begun its seasonal trips up Monarch Pass. It runs every Saturday until the 13th of March. The cost is $5 for the round trip. The bus leaves at 8:30am sharp from the Parking Lot at the Salida Hot Spring Aquatics Center and leaves Monarch at 3:30pm sharp. It is encouraged to sign up early. This is for people 10 and over. Kids under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
Steve Redmond, who coordinates the bus said that the group in charge of the rec bus have kept it as affordable as possible, and will continue to do so for years to come. Interest has been great, and it seems to build each year.”
Last year they delivered over 300 riders of all ages safely to Monarch. Steve’s thoughts about the program are simple “Leave the driving and parking to us and lets go ride. ”
For questions, please call the pool at 539-6738.
…Our kids, now ages eleven and fourteen, have ridden the bus alone for the last couple years, and love it. Sometimes we meet them up there, and drive them home. Steve is great, so drop him a line, and make it work for you and your kids so they can go big…all day.
Thanks for providing the bus service . I plan on using it in Jan and Feb . I learned to snowboard and ski last Jan and am hooked .
It’s great..an iPod adds to the experience.
Now if I could just pull off living in Salida full time . I’d never stop smiling .
There will be be three buses this weekend 19-21 Dec. Some time I forget how great it is to live in Salida.
