Nice Drive is done for the year and its a safe bet that a few more roads will be joining it before the end of the week.

[Sugarloaf Explorer @SugarloafBus]

Good morning, After touring the roads and looking at the weather for the next few days, all routes will go "On Call" at 10:00AM. Best guess to go back on a normal schedule will be Wednesday and that's only if the temperature drops during the day on Tuesday and it stays cold.

[Sugarloaf Explorer @SugarloafBus]

We're on the Weekend Holiday from 7:30 until 5:00 PM. We are not going down Nice Drive due to road conditions. This time of the year we try to deal with the thaw / freeze on dirt roads as best we can. But there is still winter to enjoy so get at it!! ⛷️🏂

[Sugarloaf Explorer @SugarloafBus]

Sorry EVENING SERVICE BEGINS AT 4:30

[Sugarloaf Explorer @SugarloafBus]

Today all routes will go "On Call" at 10:00 AM. The buses are still breaking though on the dirt roads. Everything service begins at 4:30. Tomorrow we'll operate on our normal Weekend schedule beginning at 7:30.

[Sugarloaf Explorer @SugarloafBus]

It appears that one more day will be needed to allow the roads to dry out and freeze up. All routes will go "On Call" @ 10:00 AM this morning. We anticipate regularly scheduled service will resume tomorrow, 3/13.
