WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL ANY BUS STOP FOR ANY TRIP WHERE WE HAVE ONLY 1 ATTENDEE
Bus stops will be adjusted before the first trip based on the location of our members for the current season
Bus stops vary each week and the routes change to accommodate those members who have signed up. Don't assume that there is a regular route for any bus.
Return Bus Times are always approximate. There are too many variables to be more accurate. Our kids are instructed to call or text home with a more detailed arrival time with a 20-30 minute notice.

Blizzard uses only Highway Coach buses. They are spacious and comfortable, and equipped with a lavatory and DVD players. Please do not pull up immediately in front of, or behind the buses as they park, to pickup and drop off members. For the River Forest parents, please do not park against the School wall, as that is where the buses will park.
Each Blizzard member will receive a plastic membership card and a lanyard on their first trip. You will need to be wearing the card in order to board the bus. Epic Pass members must also have their Epic Pass with them to attend. (Epic passholders not in possession of their card at Wilmot will be charged the full Blizzard price for a lift ticket.)
