Where and When To Catch The Bus
We have four stops. The Island Snow Bus line-run begins in the Tanger Mall in Riverhead, in the parking lot in front of Williams Sonoma, West Elm, and another store where the fancy people shop. We think it's called Pottery...something or other. After this, we make stops at the Islandia Park and Ride (LIE Exit 58), the Melville Park and Ride (LIE Exit 49N), and Christopher Morley Park in Roslyn.
Huge bus. Can't miss us. We leave on time, because when it comes to schussing, we don't wait for stragglers. Set two alarms if you gotta. Don't oversleep!

Here are some helpful maps:
Tanger Mall is the origin of all of our trips. It is the Sun in the Island Snow Bus solar system, even has gravitational pull and the whole bit.
Our first stop is the L.I.E. Exit 58 Park and ride in Islandia. All buses stop here approximately 25 minutes after leaving Riverhead. Refer to the above timetable for resort-specific times.
The second stop is the Melville Park and Ride off of L.I.E. Exit 49N. For departures, all stops occur here approximately 45 mins after we leave Riverhead. Riverhead departure times are the start times found under in Calendar or List of Trips menus or in the above timetable. For example, if a trip to Stratton is listed in the calendar as 3:30 AM - 9:30 PM, this is the entire span of time the trip occupies from the time the bus leaves Riverhead until the time it returns to Riverhead the same evening.
Christopher Morley Park is the final pickup on the way up to the skiing and snowboarding.
