Ski Bus Registration
Blaine Ski Bus for Middle School Students Returns for the 2026 season
If you are the parent of a Blaine middle-schooler, this is for you! Ski bus is a parent-led program and traditionally runs for five Friday evenings in Jan/Feb. If your middle school student is a beginning skier or snowboarder, this is a great opportunity to learn a new sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. Everyone is encouraged to take lessons to improve their skill level, but we don’t require them unless your child has skied less than 10 times or 2 years. We have secured 2 buses to shuttle the kids and parent volunteer chaperones to Snoqualmie Summit West. Whether new or experienced, taking part in ski bus is a fun way for the kids to practice independence and responsibility while having an unforgettable time with their classmates!
When
● Five (5) consecutive Fridays: Jan 9, 16, 23, 30 and Feb 6
● 3:30-3:45pm: Kids change, grab gear and head to bus
● 4pm: Bus departs Blaine
● 10:30-10:45pm: Bus arrives back at Blaine
Blaine Ski Bus Registration will open now through October 15th! For more information or to sign up, please visit the Catharine Blaine K8 Ski Bus 2026<https://sites.google.com/view/blaineskibus/home?authuser=2> website.
