Ski Buses
 

This Winter the Scarborough Cross Country Ski Club has scheduled a full winter of Nordic Skiing Activity for its members this year. There will be 12 buses to various locations in Southern Ontario. The cost of the Bus is $17.00 and the Trail Fee is extra. All our buses are in luxury highway coaches from our fine bus supplier, Coach Canada.
Our buses leave at 8:00 AM sharp from Scarborough Centennial arena on Ellesmere and we are usually back by 5:30PM. Our bus program has been in operation since 1985. We are also scheduling a pickup at the Kiss and Ride at the Leslie Shepard subway for 8:15.

Our ski buses go to where there is snow (even when there is none in Toronto). We often change the destination of our ski bus to find the best snow. Do not assume there is no skiing because your lawn is still green. The area around Barrie and westward attracts a lot more snow than Toronto does. We are very successful at finding good skiing within driving range.

While we try to follow our schedule, conditions in central Ontario require a very flexible approach. We try to balance our trips to various locations and visit all of the trails during the season. Also because conditions change rapidly a decision as to destination may not be made until the day of the trip. Do not be disappointed or surprised if the bus doesn't go where it was scheduled.

We only cancel a bus if there is no safe skiing. Registration for bus trips is by mail only. The cost is $17 by cheque dated the day of the bus. All buses leave Centennial Recreation Centre, 1967 Ellesmere Road in Scarborough at 8 a.m. sharp and the Leslie Sheppard subway at 8:20. Tentative destinations and dates of the buses are in the
