Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

1. How long has the Recreation Connection, Inc. been around?
A. RC, Inc. has been operating since 1996 when it first offered only a half-dozen ski bus trips. Today, RC offers hundreds of Ski Bus trips from early-December through mid-April, Senior Graduation Trips in Spring, Rafting and Sailing trips in the Summer/Fall and misc. other events. 


2. What kind of reputation does Recreation Connection, Inc. have?
RC, Inc. is a classy outfit that runs on-time and pays attention to the details.  Read what some of our regulars say about us!  WQe do not offer "party trips" with a keg on-board and loud, obnoxious behavior.  We definitely have Fun, but do so with style and class.  Adult customers may drink alcohol on the trips, but not excessively.  Rude and obnoxious people only ride once!


3. Who goes on these trips?
Wise people who realize the savings and convenience!! :)  Adult customers range in age from early 20's to early 60's, with equal numbers of men and women, couples and singles.  We have those who wish to meet other singles or people to ski, raft or sail with.  We have single or married folk whose spouses or friends don't ski or raft, couples and singles who realize a great deal when they see one, people in town on business, people who will not drive in the snow (or who are sick of dealing with chains and the drive up and back) and all of which love the convenience of having us do all the driving while they relax, sleep and watch movies on the way home! 100% Pure Convenience and Fun!  TEEN Ski Trips are for 12-17 year olds and FAMILY Ski Trips are for ages 4 and up.


5. For Ski Bus Trips, What if the Weather is bad or stormy?
The Bay Area Ski Bus travels "snow or shine".  If the road is closed to the scheduled resort, we will re-route to another resort on another freeway.  If we cannot reach a ski resort, we will return home and everyone will receive a refund minus a $30 transportation charge.  (The bus still costs money).  If it is stormy at the resort, any credits on lift tickets will need to be taken up with the resort staff.  In over 16 years of hosting ski trips, I can't tell you how many times the media predicted a "major storm" (it's news-worthy ya know) and the weather was actually great at the resort.  Storms are great - they bring powder!  As long as the roads are open and safe, we go!


6. Can I Leave my belongings on the bus during the day?
Yes, you may leave anything you wish on the bus, however, you WILL NOT have access to it during the day since the bus will be LOCKED and the driver needs to rest/sleep.  We DO NOT recommend leaving any valuables on the bus because we cannot guarantee the integrity of all of our customers:(   Wallets, purses, CD players, etc should be brought with you and/or put in a locker in the lodge.


7.  How do I set up a Trip for my company, school, church or my large group of friends?
Pick an activity, date/s and give us a call (925-680-4386) or send us an  with that info plus the # in your group, what City you are coming and any other details you think we should know.


8.  Is the Bus Company safe and reputable?
We only use bus companies which have fantastic safety records, top-of-the-line equipment and safe, friendly drivers. 


 
Customer Testimonial:
I just took Bay Area Ski bus a week ago up to Kirkwood, and it was great! I hate driving up to tahoe, particularly when the weather is bad, so this was awesome.
