CU Ski Bus Program
This season we will focus our efforts andÌýonly serve Ikon mountains. The Ikon Pass is the most popular with CU students and the student runÌýÌýorganization has great pricing for the pass.Ìý
To get the always popular half-price tickets that are subsidized by Herd Leadership Council you'll need toÌýjoinÌýtheir mailing list for those monthly codes.Ìý
There are a limited number of Ski Bus tickets available for each trip.ÌýTrips will often sell out far in advance. Some standbyÌýtickets are available for purchase on the morning of each trip (even on sold-out trips).
Ticket Information
Regular ticket holders may purchase one (1) regular ($25) ticket for a non-student guest. Herd Leadership Council code usersÌýmay not purchase a Herd ticket for a guest, but may purchase one (1) regular ($25) ticket for a non-student guest.
In the event of inclement weather conditions, see our facebook page CU Ski BusÌýfor cancellation or delay information. Tickets forÌýtrips that we've canceled may be exchanged for a future date or refunded.
There are two types of tickets available for all trips of the Ski Bus:
- Regular tickets are available for $25Ìý(roundtrip) for current University of Colorado at Boulder students, faculty, and staff. There are 40Ìýregular tickets available for each trip.
- Herd tickets are available for $15Ìý(roundtrip) for current CU students who use aÌýHerd Leadership Council code. There are onlyÌý20ÌýHerd tickets available for each trip.Ìý
People not affiliated with the University of Colorado at Boulder areÌýnotÌýeligible to purchase or receive ticketsÌýfor the Ski Bus under any circumstances except the following:
- Each University student, staff, or faculty member that purchases a regular ($25) or Herd ticket ($15) is eligible to purchase one (1) regular ($25) ticket for a non-University-affiliated guest. The University student, staff, or faculty member must board the bus on the day of the trip in order for the guest to be allowed to board the bus.
We also offer standby tickets on the morning of the bus trip. You can pick up the bus as a stand-by at any bus stop, however we can only guarantee yourÌýspot at the Farrand Fields stop. If you get on at an earlier spot and there is no available seat at Farrand you will have to get off the bus and we will not be supplying a ride back home (this has never happened though). They are only available on a space-available basis to fill empty seats on the bus, and will be sold for $25Ìý(via credit card). These tickets are not guaranteed to be available, but typically we have between eight and fifteen seats available on the morning of the trip due to no-shows. To date, we have never turned down a patron hoping to purchase a standby ticket.
Change and Refund Policy
The policy has shifted from a strict "no refunds" policy to a more flexible one.ÌýYou may also sell your ticket to another student at face-value ($25).
Refund Request Window: Students can now request a refund, but they need to do so at least 7 days in advance of the event.
Refund Deduction: Eventbrite fees will be deducted from the refund amount. This implies that the student won't receive the full ticket price back, as a portion will go towards covering Eventbrite's fees.
Refund Options: Students have two options for the refunded amount - they can either get a refund to their credit card or opt for a credit that can be used for future ski bus ticket purchases.Ìý
