Greasebus to Stevens Pass is Back!

Hey Seattle shredders, the Greasebus is back!

They are offering rides to Stevens Pass every Sat/Sun. The Greasebus is the best way to get to the mountain if you don’t have a car, looking to stay “green”, need new ride buddies, or just want to relax and have someone else do the work for you. (They do Portland too!)

* What:

The Greasebus is a passenger bus that has been converted to run on biofuel. Aside from using alternative fuel sources, the Greasebus is probably the most comfortable ride you’ll get to the mountain because it is totally kitted out with comfy chairs.  Once you meet the bus at evo or SnoCon, after reserving your spot online, sit back and relax, even grab a snack as you shuttle to Stevens Pass. Not just a silent ride with strangers, the bus plays movies, often games and gives out prizes from its sponsors. The Greasebus is sponsored by Clif Bar, Nike, Vitamin Water, Gnu, and LibTech.

*When:

Every Saturday & Sunday until 04/22/12

*Where:

-7:30am from evo Seattle   122 NW 36th St, Seattle, WA 98107

-7:45am from SnoCon   263 Yale Ave N, Seattle, WA, 98109

-4pm departure from Stevens Pass after a full day of riding

-5:45pm* arrive back at SnoCon

-6:15pm* arrive back at evo

How: Reserve your seat on the Greasebus CLICK HERE.

Cost: $20 per ride, payable online.

The reservation tool is extremely easy to use and even shows you how many seats are available.

Cancellations or Rescheduling? Greasebus knows stuff happens unexpectedly and gladly allows you to change days or cancel with reimbursement. Easy!

*weather and traffic permitting

On February 11, 2012 women all over the country will be encouraged to utilize the resource of the SheJumps community to celebrate their love for the mountain lifestyle by taking the mountain by storm with new and old friends in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Once per month for the remainder of the ski and snowboard season, SheJumps Chapters across the United States will be hosting informal gatherings on the slopes, both with and without costumes, to GET THE GIRLS OUT and grow the community of women in the outdoors!“
