After a season of complaints about transportation to and from ski resorts in Salt Lake County, a new ski bus service is accepting reservations with the goal to ease congestion in the canyons.
"Cottonwood Connect" will begin taking recreators to Utah's mountain resorts on Thursday, and it'll only cost $10 to hitch a ride.
The main difference between the new shuttle service and ski buses operated by Utah Transit Authority is the fact that"Cottonwood Connect" operates entirely on a reservation system."They will actually pick where they want to get picked up and what resort they want to go to," Eskleson said."So the driver will absolutely know where to drop them off and where to pick them up.
"There's a handful of spots that are both hotel pick-ups as well as park and ride locations," Eskleson said."Really this is meant to be for visitors and for residents and locals to just get up the canyon and have a great day." Because of the less frequent runs, ski buses have been filled to capacity at times, with recreators not able to get rides.
