To make our Snowmodo meetup at Northstar-at-Tahoe accessible to everyone, we need to arrange a carpool or bus. So we ask you guys, who needs a ride and how can we make it happen?
You guys basically have two options. We can either run a carpool system that you guys figure out amongst yourselves in the comments section or we help arrange for a private bus. Working out the carpool option is pretty easy but the bus is little tougher. For those who need a ride to the mountain for our Snowmodo event, please read each option's info and than choose which is best for you.
Bus:
For Gizmodo to arrange a private bus from the Bay area to Northstar on Saturday April 4th, we will need at-least 40 passengers who will each have to pay $45. This private bus will only be used for our Snowmodo event so departure and arrival times can be tailored to our event needs. We have already spoken with a popular ski bus operator who would handle all bookings. Here's all the info that would make a private bus possible:
- Bus would only be a day trip. Leave Bay area the morning of Saturday April 4 and return that evening.
- Minimum 40 passengers needed and can fit up to 55.
- $45 for roundtrip booking.
- Booking must be paid in advanced.
- Bus trip will only be 100% confirmed once 40 passengers have paid for their booking. If 40 people don't book, the bus gets canceled and you're money gets fully refunded.
Before we can start sending you guys off to book a seat on a private Snowmod bus, we need to find out if we can even fill the 40 seat requirement. So if you're interested in booking a seat on a private Snowmod bus, please send an email to snowmodo@gizmodo.com, with a subject line of I Need Snowmodo Bus. In the email please list your name, names of anyone else who will be accompanying you, and a statement saying "Yes, I would like to book a seat on a private Snowmodo Bus"
For those of you who have already filled out the Snowmodo RSVP form we will be sending you an email asking if you would interested in taking the private bus. So no need to send an email until we ask you to...
Carpool:
For those of you who would rather carpool, we would suggest that you turn the comment's section of this post into a carpool thread. For those who have space available in the car and are willing to give a ride to those who need it, please feel free to post a comment stating your availability. We're hoping you guys will be able to work this out amongst yourselves. So, good luck!
Also, if you're planning on attending and haven't already filled out an RSVP form please do so below. Thanks!
