After having a great time on last year’s day trip to Belleayre, I was eager to return for a visit during this ski season. Since it appears that Zogsports is not offering a day trip to this location, I was happy to find out that there is a bus you can take from NYC Port Authority to and from Belleayre for a day or weekend of skiing. Adirondak/NY/Pine Hill Trailways has a ski package for a round trip bus ride and 1 day lift ticket for $81. If you would rather stay for more than one night you can also look into their weekend packages combining lift tickets, bus transport and lodging. I did not see an option to buy my ticket online and was informed that I just needed to go to the Adirondak Trailways sales terminal at Port Authority. They recommended arriving early and I had no problem buying my ticket that morning.
Departing at 7am, the bus arrived close to 10:30am. The scheduled departure time directly from Belleayre to head back to NYC is 4:15pm. One thing to know is that there are some local stops along the way and we switched buses at Kingston, NY. However, we were on schedule with the timing estimates we were given. This mode of transport is perfect if you are someone like me who does not have a way to drive but would still like to get out of the city for some local skiing.
I love the trails and view at Belleayre and now that I know how to get there on the weekend, I look forward to a few more visits before the winter ends.
Live It Up NYC!

Thanks for the details. I have a question – were there a lot of people on the bus line? I’m planning on taking this bus with 10 people and I heard it’s first come, first serve.
