Bay Area Ski Bus | About Us

What Our Customers Say!

Just a note to say thanks. I was recently on a business trip to Sunnyvale and took your trip to Squaw Valley. Very enjoyable day.
-- Jon, United Kingdom

I never expected to have so much fun on a day trip to the slopes. Having a comfortable seat and a professional drive makes all the difference. On the way up I get to sleep and build strength for the slopes. On the way back I get to relax and watch movies. And all for a more than reasonable price. The Bay Area Ski Bus is a dream come true for us weekend skiers and boarders.
-- Guy, Alameda

I had a great time on Sat going with the Bay Area Ski Bus to Sierra at Tahoe. I've been on other ski buses but your is by far the best!
-- Helena, Sunnyvale

My husband and I have been enjoying trips with Brian for the past 2 years and we both highly recommend this company! They're professional, extremely customer-focused/friendly, safe and cost-effective.
-- Chris (and Gary), Oakland

Brian, I had a fantastic time. It was so wonderful to have all of the details arranged for me. All I had to do was concentrate on my boarding! You're so organized and everything went off without a hitch! With the extra day, I also got the chance to interact more with the other BASB riders. I met some really nice people. I know that I wouldn't make the time to board as frequently as I do if the Bay Area Ski Bus wasn't around.
-- Nancy, Benicia

I wanted to let you know what an absolute BLAST I had on the trip to Sugar Bowl and Squaw. You may remember me -- I traveled alone, but you took such good care of me that I didn't feel alone. Thank you for getting my equipment rental and lesson tickets! I met some fun people at Sugar Bowl, and spent a few hours with them. You have a great business, and I have already been spreading the word about it. Wishing you continued success, and see you next ski season!
-- Cathy Neuren

I like the Ski Bus primarily because I don't have to drive and bus is on time. I am able to sleep on way up and watch videos on the way back. Oh, and the price is reasonable.
-- Elaine, Pleasanton

Brian, Susan and I thank you for a wonderful weekend of great skiing. We both think you do a great job in planning and managing the trips and look forward to doing some more in the future with Paul and Nancy. Thanks and good luck this year.
-- Robert, San Diego

Thank you very much for perfect services during ski trips with Bay Area Ski Bus. I had great time every Saturday. I wish you long ski season this year.
-- Marketa

As I am booking our second trip to the Holy Mountains. I thought I'd jumped on the "window-of- opportunity" to tell you how wonderful our first experience was, and how thankful we are to be able to use the fabulous service you have set-up for us and all the mountain-freaks. See you soon, and eat some fresh powder for us this coming Saturday!
-- Valerie & Mo.

I like the ski bus because it is so convenient. I normally get up early Saturday to go snow boarding and have to drive all the way. With the ski bus, I can relax and nap before getting to the slopes. The cost is very reasonable and the trips I've been on all well organized. The ride home (watching movies and stopping for dinner) is great fun!
-- Joan, San Jose

The thing that I like the most about Bay Area Ski Bus is that trips are extremely well organized and seem to adhere to the schedule very well (e.g. if bus is supposed to leave the resort @ 5pm, it probably will leave at 5pm).
-- Gleb, Foster City

My reasons for using SkiBus: get in a full day's skiing and still have a full weekend day at home! Don't have to hassle with driving after skiing.
-- Lynne, Walnut Creek

Just about as cheap as driving up there by myself, and obviously so much more relaxing. Lots of trips per winter = lots of opportunities to get out there, and harder to make excuses not to. Having access to the bus during the day (at some areas) is nice compared to dealing with lockers. Nice chance to meet other people who enjoy the outdoors.
-- Rona, Walnut Creek

It's convenient! Especially since I don't have a car. and everything's arranged, so that's good too. And the bus is also nice and comfy! Thanks again for organizing the ski bus, can't wait till the snow starts falling…
-- Nat, Berkeley

We use ski bus because it is so convenient. We can ski and not take a whole weekend. Also it is nice relaxing way to travel. NO worries!!
-- Cathy & Gordon, Walnut Creek

I love your bus trips because: No Driving, I get to enjoy the people, The price is right, Its fun
-- Chloe & Ed, Castro Valley

The ski bus is a great deal if you want to go skiing and don't feel like driving.
-- Mike, Palo Alto

I like the ski bus, because that's the only way I can go on a one day snow trip. Great crew (yes Brian - that's you), and kick-ass crowd.
-- Lior, San Francisco

I like using the ski bus because it's more convenient and easier than going to ski by myself.
-- Veronika, Pleasant Hill

The greatest thing about the Ski Bus is that I didn't have to drive. Nothing like sleeping those extra hours on the way up and back. Nobody likes driving after carving the whole day through. We still got to the mountain at lift opening, and didn't have to wait in line for lift tickets either. Our only responsibility was to get on the mountain and ride. It doesn't get any better than that. I look forward to the trips this year. Thanks!
-- Mike, Concord

I love the SKI BUS! It is so enjoyable to leave all of the details to someone else. I just show up, grab a seat on the bus and look forward to a great day on the slopes. At the end of the day, I don't have to worry about driving home, I can just relax and catch a great movie! Thanks Brian and SKI BUS for making my last two ski seasons so enjoyable! Can't wait for this season!
-- Nancy, Benicia

Hey Brian, I want to express my thanks once again for the incredible adventure of skydiving this past Saturday. It was all I talked about the rest of the weekend. I look forward to several ski bus trips very soon. Think SF rain... Pray Tahoe snow!
-- Ryan, San Francisco

I want to say that I had a great time last season - as a skier, I developed more than I expected. We had some great adventures. I appreciate the way you, KC and your host(s or ess) took care of us. You have a good system and a great service. You have my hearty wishes for your continued success.
-- Mansur, Concord

I just wanted to thank our hosts, Susan and Jorge, for a very memorable ski day at Kirkwood last Sunday. The trip was seamless from a timely 5am pick-up at Rockridge through a good breakfast on the bus to some valuable inside information about where best to ski, they were superb and a credit to your organization. We will see you again. Many thanks!
-- Jeremy & Kristine, Oakland

Hi Brian, I want to thank you for taking care of Tommy and Alex. Their first Tahoe Bus trip with you guys was awesome!!! Tommy actually got service at Squaw and so he was calling me while he on the lift to tell me how cool it was. I appreciate you giving the kids opportunities to do this.
-- Mary, Mom

Just want to thank you for the fun experience you provide for our children. My son Frankie and his friend Jack had a wonderful time at Sugar Bowl on Saturday. I am impressed by the preciseness in which these Tahoe trips run. Looking forward to more trips with you in the future. Thanks again,
-- Laureen, Orinda

Brian, Everything worked out just great on the Tahoe bus trip and my son and I had a super day. You guys run a terrific operation, and I hope to go with you again--especially on a weekday! Thanks!
-- Toni

Thanks again 4 the awesome weekend!!! I had the best weekend of my life!!! I cant wait 2 go again!!!
-- Scott

The trip last week w/Johnny & Patti to Squaw was one of the BEST run trips that I have experienced on your buses...He is especially organized, cordial, respectful and fun!
-- Cassady

Brian -- Nathan and I had a really fun time yesterday at Sugarbowl. We really enjoyed our ski bus experience... great crew, worked like clockwork, and stress free for me on the driving/logistics. Now I just have to work on my mogul skills.
-- Nancy, Lafayette

Thanks a lot for your help! Your program is great! I'm really impressed and my son absolutely loves it. Thanks.
-- Kathy P

Thank you for a wonderful trip. We took a survey about the ski trip, all of them had fun and enjoyed the bus ride. They would do it again if we have another trip in the future. I also like to thank your team for making this trip easy and relax throughout registrations & the actual trip. It is the most enjoyable trip that we had so far. Thank you.
-- Moon, San Jose

The 'bus is the best way to go! Thanks for everything....see you asap.
-- Nan

Thank you for the fabulous trip. My son had a wonderful time thanks to your planning. I'm sure you will see his name on your reservation list in the future.
-- Anthony

Hello There, I had such a super wonderful, awesome time with your ski bus. Kenny, the other host/ess, and the driver, were very pleasant. I discovered your Tahoe tour through a friend of mine
-- Jann, Martinez

I would like to tell you this has been a great experience for my son and I. He gets to snowboard and I can relax and know he is in good hands. The hosts on the buss are great! I hope for him to become a regular next year (I'm using this as an incentive for good grades). Have a great day.
-- Claudia, Santa Clara

Thanks SO MUCH for a GREAT TRIP...what a wonderful experience...everyone was so friendly and good natured! It would be awesome if you could ADD at PICK UP in on the 80 junction so NORTH BAY friends could easily come as well...since you pass that way ANYWAY...maybe Vallejo or Fairfield...even Davis? Just a thought!
-- Judy, Santa Rosa

Hey - Just wanted to send a quick note, saying thanks for a great trip on Sunday. A couple of friends and I decided to give it a try and I think we're permanently sold on doing it more. :-)
-- David

Brian, My daughter Kimberly and I really enjoyed our trip to Kirkwood. Thank you and your friends for organizing it. We sure will return next year. Wish you and your family a great summer.
-- David, Danville

Brian, I HAD A BLAST! You guys are well organized, our host (sorry I dont remember his name) and our driver were really nice. It's so convenient! My boyfriend and I were celebrating his bday that day, and he had so much fun too, we cant wait to use the bus again!
-- Elizabeth

I wanted to be sure to tell you that Holly, our host on that trip (the trip with quite the unexpected adventures) was marvelous and showed herself to be an excellent crisis manager. I hope you do something special for her for representing your company well, keeping a cool head, and making some good decisions during a difficult and stressful time. She maintained a sense of humor and kept the group's morale as good as it could be under the circumstances. Her number one priority, as she repeatedly stated, was to get us back down the mountain safely...which she did.
-- Marielle

Hi Brian, Just wanted to let you know how much my boyfriend and I have enjoyed the Ski Bus since we discovered its existence last fall. We've only been on 2 trips so far (one to Heavenly in December, one this past weekend to Northstar) but we've really enjoyed the convenience and relative ease of being able to indulge in our favorite outdoor winter activity without having to worry about driving, finding overnight accommodations in Tahoe, etc... We have become big fans of the Ski Bus, and are recommending it to all of our friends and co-workers! You guys do a great job & offer a fantastic service, and for that we are truly grateful!
-- Heather

Just want to say thanks for the great trip (Northstar 12/27). It was exactly as advertised, plus i liked the little extra suprises. Overall a terrific value and great hospitality.
-- Jeff

Just FYI we had to take (xxx) a few times this month and you guys make them look like a clown car operation. Every time we've taken BASB it has been organized, professional and prompt. The two times on (xxx) got us there late, frustrated, and wishing we were on BASB :)
-- Justin, Menlo Park

Thanks a lot for your help! PS. Your program is great by the way! I'm really impressed and my son absolutely loves it. Thanks.
-- Kathy

Just wanted to say I had a great time on my ski-bus trip! It's only the second time i've been snowboarding, but it was awesome! I loved being able to sleep on the way up, and watch movies on the way back, took all the hassle away from the trip and just left an amazing time!
-- Kegan

Dear BASB Team, I had a GREAT TIME this season thanks to discovering your trips. Ended up with 15 days on the slopes verses only 6, if I had waited for my don't-ski-often-enough-for-my-taste, friends and family to go. It is also environmentally greener to travel in a bus with others instead of all those folks in separate vehicles.
-- Margaret, Los Gatos

Thank you for finding my boots. By the way, your company is great – super nice people.
-- Mari

I want to take this opportunity to give props to host Kenny of the SF Ski Bus to Northstar on Mar. 18. When we got back to SF, I was called for a cab and was waiting for quite awhile. Kenny waited with me and when the cab didn't show up after a few minutes, Kenny offered me a ride home which I am grateful for. It was very gracious, nice and kind of him.
-- Mark

I meant to mail you after last Sunday's trip from Santa Clara to Sierra to say how good your bus hosts were. It was great to have a non-PG rated film - Death to Smoochy had me rolling in the aisles. I think the majority of our group would have preferred the bagels we'd had before, rather than the muffins from last week but opinion is divided. I wasn't having such a good day until we found, like, a beginner's terrain park on the backside. Man, that run was fun. Anyway, thanks for a great service and looking forward to my first reasonably fresh snow, this season, on Sunday.
-- Martin

Dear Brian, Thank you so much to your amazing team in managing to get us upto Sierra on Saturday. It was a wonderful day in 6 feet of fresh snow!!
-- Nigel

Thanks Brian for the help. This is a great business for teens who enjoy skiing when their parents can't etc. Connor has found a great self confidence in the ability to travel safely with friends and enjoy a day away to the slopes
-- Maggie

I am what the 'bayareaskibus' consider a regular, if I am correct it is going to be my fifth or sixth year with you. I can only say that your business is getting better and better as it mature into what I consider now to be an extend family. Outside of great skiing we have now great friends as well and I can hardly wait for next year and if possible an out of state ski trip. Thank you Brian, KC. Tremendous job
-- Patrick, San Jose

Hey Brian, I went to the bus trip yesterday. Congratulation this bus trip is very organized and your team is great. I sure will go again.
-- Paulo, SF

Brian: Just wanted to send you a quick note and tell you how much my family enjoyed last weekend's snow trip to Northstar—we had a blast! I was so focused on getting my kids off the bus and moving all our bags that I didn't pull you aside to thank you. You all run an EXTREMELY professional, well-organized trip and even with difficult road and weather conditions, you and your staff still got us back safely and quickly. I also wanted you to know that I appreciated the special attention you gave to our family—my wife and kids have never been up to the snow before, so this was definitely an "adventure" for them. But Maria commented that it felt like such a "worry-free" trip because of the professionalism and organization of the Bay Area Ski Bus staff. Keep up the GREAT work and we'll try to do this again maybe next month ;-)
-- Ryan

I just took Bay Area Ski bus a week ago up to Kirkwood, and it was great! I hate driving up to tahoe, particularly when the weather is bad, so this was awesome.
-- Samia

Thus far the Ski trips have been great! You have taken 'Stress' out of the equation for family ski trips and added 'relaxation and fun'!
-- ??

Brian; Took both the Kirkwood and Sugarbowl trips, and introduced a friend to your service. We had a great time. Walter is a fantastic host, keeping it both light and informative. Thanks for introducing beer and wine to the experience. The ski bus has given me a new lease on a ski life, and keep up the good work. I continue to tell people about the ski bus.
-- John, Walnut Creek

I just wanted to thank you again for a really well planned trip to Tahoe, I had a great time and also for the shuttle. I will definitely be checking out the web site for more trips before the end of this season.
-- Ruben, SF

Thanks for yet another great ski year! The away trips are fantastic and have taken me to places I probably would not have seen on my own. Looking forward to riding with you guys next year.
-- Ted, Berkeley

I booked a trip for Hubert Jiang and Adam Naglich to go to Alpine Meadows and I want you to know that it was a huge success. The bus was waiting at the designated spot at the right time, everything went smoothly, and the boys had a great outing. In particular, I wanted to thank the fellow who was the leader on the bus (don't know what else to call the guy.) He helped Adam and Hubert arrange a lesson when they determined that they had no idea what they were doing with a snowboard on a mountain.
-- Ted

We were very skeptical about our first trip on "bay area ski bus". But all of our doubt were wipes away. We went in a group of 5 and we can't wait to do it again. We had a calm safe ride on the way up and a quite, but fun party on the way back. Price was half of what we would have paid if we would have drove.
-- CH Nurses

Went on my first ski bus this past Saturday and was super impressed! Convenient, zero hassle/headaches, sleeping and movies is the only way to travel to Tahoe. Friendly hosts, breakfast, Red Bulls, wine & snacks...great package. Hooked.
-- Jason, Foster City

I wanted to compliment Todd & Heather on a GREAT trip to Sugar Bowl yesterday. The bus left right on time, was very comfy, and we even got there early, so we had plenty of time to gear up & hit the slopes. The weather was perfect, snow was pretty good, very mellow vibe. The apres-ski party was awesome! The BBQ and beer/cider sponsored by Pyramid Brewery was a great hit. The hosts were prepared with canopies when it finally started to rain. The trip home was just as comfy & fast, and the movies were good, too. This is my 2nd BASB trip this season, and the quality just keeps getting better.
-- Michael

The Bay Area Ski Bus was already an impressively professional (and fun) operation. Now I can say that customer care and satisfaction is a priority even for last minute changes.
