Bus Rules 

The DRIVER is in charge of BUS LEADER

The BUS LEADER is in charge of YOU!

Above all, LISTEN TO and RESPECT the Driver! Once you get on the road, they're in charge!  Mess with them or be rude to them and suffer the consequences.   

  • The BUS LEADER is the only one to communicate w/ DRIVER!

If you have requests regarding movies, food, temperature, etc., tell them, DO NOT SHOUT them, TO THE BUS LEADER… NOT the Driver.

**If 55 people are shouting rudely to "turn down TV!" "turn up TV!" "turn music ON!" "stop for food!" "the bathroom smells!" "it's too hot!" "I'm cold!" etc…. chances are the Driver will get nutty (understandably so!) and decide to turn off the TV for good, or stop when they feel like it.  They know how to drive the bus, so let them.  Most will be gracious enough to respect your requests if you do it the right way…. VIA THE BUS LEADER! 

  • NO SMOKING ON THE BUS!

    This means no smoking anywhere on the bus or in the bathrooms. If the driver thinks you are smoking you will be thrown off the bus and made to find your own way home - happy trails.

  • NO #2 IN BUS BATHROOM!

Whatever you put in there stays with you the whole trip (out and back). Be sure you don't put  any trash down the toilet!! It will clog and you will have no toilet at all!!

**In emergency situations, tell the Bus Leader that you need to make a restroom stop- the Drivers are happy to honor this request! 

  • NO PUKING ON THE BUS!!!!!

Again, it will make the long ride even LONGER if it smells like PUKE!
Be responsible and use the trash bag if you absolutely must barf!  But just DON'T PUKE in the first place!!!!

**You don't want to be known as the "kid that puked 2 hours out of town" for the rest of the trip/the rest of your ski & snowboard club tenure! 

  • NO KEGS!  NO GLASS! 

Only beverage cans and plastic bottles are allowed on the bus!
Throw cans and bottles in the ample trash bags provided- NOT THE FLOOR!

**Plan ahead and share coolers with friends. 

  • NO STYROFOAM COOLERS!

Only hard plastic coolers!  They will be a walkway in the aisle- styrofoam will break and leak for sure! 

  • DON'T BE A JERK AT STOPS!
Examples of things that are jerky and will piss everybody off - Stealing, vandalism, pissing off truckers or locals, fighting, taking forever when everybody else is waiting for you, doing illicit things in public. You get the idea, don't be a jerk!

 

**With your help and cooperation in these areas, we hope to you and the drivers an enjoyable ride!  Tour staff thanks you in advance for your help in keeping BUSES CLEAN and DRIVERS HAPPY!  You are the key in making the bus ride a SUCCESS!**

Condo Information

Respect

You are staying at deluxe condos with other paying guests who are probably NOT college students. They paid for the place just like you did so use good judgment in respect to noise levels and your activities. If someone asks you to keep it down, respect thier right to peace and quiet and be nice.

We know that the condo manager is rather conservative and has low tolerance for troublemakers.

This being understood:

If you are disturbing other guests - at their discretion the condo management will do the following:

  • Have you fined or jailed for noise violations, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, public intox.
  • Throw your room group out of the condo complex (at which point you are on your own).
  • Throw us all out
  • Notify the OU judiciaries - which may result in probation or expulsion.

Binders

The binders you receive for the condo room have maps - keys - shuttle schedules - and resort info. Please consult the binders before you call the front desk. All keys must be placed back in the binder and dropped off at the front desk at checkout.

Smoking 

No Smoking in building

Cleaning up the Condo

When you leave - your condo should be the way it was when you found it. 

Please leave the dishes in the dishwasher running, pick up after yourself, take out your trash, strip the beds.

Shuttle

There will be free shuttles to take you around "".

Lost Keys

DON'T LOSE THEM.
