CU Ski Bus - Ticket Information

Ticket Information

Regular ticket holders may purchase one (1) regular ($15) ticket for a non-student guest. Herd members may not purchase a Herd ticket for a guest, but may purchase one (1) regular ($15) ticket for a non-student guest.

In the event of inclement weather conditions, call 303-900-2761 for cancellation or delay information. Tickets for canceled trips may be exchanged for a future date or refunded.

There are two types of tickets available for all trips of the Ski Bus:

  • Regular tickets are available for $15 (roundtrip) for current University of Colorado at Boulder students, faculty, and staff. There are typically 35 regular tickets available for each trip.
  • Herd tickets are available for $5 (roundtrip) for current CU students who are members of the Herd (the student branch of the Alumni Organization). There are only 20 Herd tickets available for each trip. You do not need your Herd membership number or card to buy your ticket, but your card will be checked when boarding the bus. Not a HERD member? Join here.

People not affiliated with the University of Colorado at Boulder are NOT eligible to purchase or receive tickets for the Ski Bus under any circumstances except the following:

  • Each University student, staff, or faculty member that purchases a regular ($15) or Herd ticket ($5) is eligible to purchase one (1) regular ($15) ticket for a non-University-affiliated guest. The University student, staff, or faculty member must board the bus on the day of the trip in order for the guest to be allowed to board the bus.

Standby Tickets

We also offer standby tickets on the morning of the bus trip. These tickets are available only at the Farrand Field pickup from 6:15 to 6:30. They are only available on a space-available basis to fill empty seats on the bus, and will be sold for $15 (cash or check only, no credit cards). These tickets are not guaranteed to be available, but typically we have between eight and fifteen seats available on the morning of the trip due to no-shows. To date, we have never turned down a patron hoping to purchase a standby ticket. Herd ($5) tickets will not be available on the morning of the bus. Exact change is required.

Change and Refund Policy

Tickets are non-refundable.

In the event that you cannot use a ticket, please read this policy closely. In most cases, it is easier to find a friend who can use your ticket than to request a refund or date change from the program (see FAQ question 6).

Please request a name change, date change using this form or by clicking the "Change your Ticket" link in the site menu within Ticket Information.

Up until seven days before your trip:

  • All name change requests will be honored.

Up until two days before your trip:

  • All name change requests will be honored.
  • Date change requests will be honored only if your ticket resells before your original trip date.

Less than two days until your trip:
