Ski resorts provide shuttles
Buses are a preferred method of transport for large numbers of skiers and snowboarders who frequent South Shores two ski resorts.
Both Sierra-at-Tahoe and Heavenly Ski Resort have contracts with Area Transit Management to provide complimentary bus services to their resorts.
“We move a lot of people every year,” said Monica Bandows, director of marketing at Heavenly. Heavenly employees 14 buses to cart patrons to its slopes.
While Sierra follows a fixed schedule of bus stops on South Shore, Heavenly’s buses stop at fixed stops every 20 minutes.
Sierra offers rides to patrons from Placerville for $10. Rides to the resort from Strawberry on the Sierra Nevada’s West Slope cost $5.
Bandows said Heavenly provided rides for more than 300,000 skiers and boarders last year – about 40 percent of its visitors.
