New York launches the snow bus

Friday, 14 March 20143 min read

New York has announced the ‘I Ski NY’ Bus, a new, dedicated bus line to 13 upstate ski mountains from New York City and Toronto.

It will begin service for the 2014-2015 winter ski season.

"With some of the best ski slopes, snowmobiling tracks, hiking trails, and scenic views, we want New Yorkers to know they should stay in New York and all out-of-state visitors to feel welcome to partake in all that upstate has to offer," said Governor Andrew M. Cuomo.

Currently, only two mountains – Hunter and Windham Mountains – are consistently serviced through bus transportation out of New York City.

Under the new plan, the state will provide bus services to 13 different mountains from New York City.

The plan also includes a secondary market from Toronto to connect Western New York ski areas.
