A New York-based outdoor activity company will begin offering bus trips from Washington, DC to Whitetail Ski Resort on many Saturdays this winter, providing a hassle-free way to make it to the slopes for those who lack cars or prefer not to drive. Sourced Adventures began offering all-inclusive Whitewater Rafting trips from New York City and Philadelphia two years ago, and is now expanding into the D.C. market.

It is not always easy for D.C.-area residents to make it to the slopes in the winter. In 2006, a local company called Attiva Outdoors attempted to provide weekend bus service to Whitetail. However, the company was not able to turn a profit and shut down the next year. Car-less skiers and snowboarders have had to rely on carpooling with friends to make it to the slopes. With the introduction of Sourced Adventures, there is once again an option for stress-free day trips to Pennsylvania’s Whitetail Resort.

Sourced Adventures plans on running trips to Whitetail on Saturdays throughout the season including January 23, 30; February 6, 13, 20, and 27; and March 5, 12, and 19, 2016. Pickups will be from Union Station (6:30 a.m.), Tenlytown/AU Metro Station (7:00 a.m.), and Shady Grove Station (7:30 a.m.). Reservations are required in advance. A package including lift ticket plus bus ride will sell for $118; a package including lift, rentals, and bus will be $157. A bus-only option will also be offered for $59. Each package will have a $20 add-on group lesson option, and all trips will be guided by a Sourced Adventures Staff member. More information is available at www.sourcedadventures.com.

Sourced Adventures is offering DCSki readers a 20% discount off the lift/bus and lift/rental/bus packages. To obtain the discount, use the code DCSKI20 when booking a reservation.

Sourced Adventures was founded two years ago to make outdoors accessible and affordable to people living in urban areas.
