Megabus, Burlington Trailways partner to add bus service from Denver to destinations east
Megabus, which offers city-to-city express bus service across the country, is partnering with Burlington Trailways to start offering trips between Denver and 22 cities. The new service started Monday and is part of the company’s expanded options for 48 cities. Colin Emberson, a vice president with Megabus, said Friday that travelers will ride on a Burlington Trailways bus. The buses depart from Denver’s Union Station. “Denver is not a city that we’ve operated to or from in the past,” Emberson said. “What we’ve done here is partnered with Burlington Trailways. They would actually do the operating.” The partnership allows people to buy tickets on the Megabus website and tie into the company’s network. “That should mean other possibilities beyond what Burlington Trailways is offering,” Emberson said. Real-time tracking is available on the website, allowing customers to monitor departure and arrival times. Burlington Trailways offers service across the Midwest with … [Read more...] about Megabus, Burlington Trailways partner to add bus service from Denver to destinations east

The big red flag you should look for when booking your hotel
NEXT time you are booking your holiday abroad, you may want to double-check the hotel you are staying at. While it can be tempting to book a new, fancy hotel, this could cause you problems when you arrive. Many tour operators will offer discounted deals for new hotels, called " soft openings ". This is because they are yet to have many reviews or ratings, so want to encourage guests to stay. However, a new hotel runs the risk of not being ready in time - and it could ruin your holiday or even delay it. Tim Hentschel, co-Founder booking platform HotelPlanner advises waiting a few weeks before being one of the first to visit.

Angel Di Maria’s wife slams “s***hole” Manchester and its “white and weird women”
Angel Di Maria's wife has branded Manchester a 'sh**hole' and admitted the Argentinian flop only joined United for the money. In an astonishing attack on the English giants, Jorgelina Cardoso has revealed Di Maria never wanted to go to Manchester United and that the pair of them hated living there. Di Maria became one of the club's most expensive signings when he joined them from Real Madrid in 2014 for £60m. The winger signed a deal worth £175,000-a-week that made him one of the highest paid stars in United's history and inherited the No. 7 shirt made famous by the likes of George Best, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo . But he failed to settle in Manchester and was branded one of the worst signings in history following a string of woeful performances. Di Maria lasted less than 12 months at United and when he failed to board a flight for the side's pre-season tour of America the following summer, club bosses decided to cut their losses and sell him to PSG in a £44m … [Read more...] about Angel Di Maria’s wife slams “s***hole” Manchester and its “white and weird women”

Why the Pacific Crest Trail will be more dangerous than ever this year
The Pacific Crest Trail draws thousands of people from all experience levels annually. Some are thru-hikers hoping to complete the 2,650-mile trek through California, Oregon and Washington (from the Mexican border to Canada), in one journey, while others are weekend backpackers and day hikers taking on smaller sections of the trail. The hikers regularly contend with challenges like hypothermia, heat exhaustion, poisonous plants, lightning, bears and rattlesnakes, along with wildfires and other impacts of climate change . But this year, experts warn, hikers face one of the greatest risks in the trail’s history: the record-setting Sierra Nevada snowpack . "These large snowpacks can be susceptible to fast melt if the weather conditions are right," Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at the Central Sierra Snow Lab , told SFGATE. "Periods of above-average temperatures, particularly if they're prolonged, can cause significant rises in stream and river flows, which can be dangerous.” … [Read more...] about Why the Pacific Crest Trail will be more dangerous than ever this year
Vail Resorts plans to change the way skiers and snowboarders rent gear, including free delivery
Vail Resorts has plans to transform the way guests select and pick up rental gear with the creation of a unique program called My Epic Gear, revealing the concept in a news release on Monday. Users will be able to select the gear they want to rent through an app and it will be delivered to them if they are staying at lodging within a resort area. If not, they will be able to pick it up and drop it off via slopeside valet service, eliminating the need to stand in line at a ski shop. They also will be able to change their gear selections throughout the season, such as choosing skis specifically designed for skiing powder on days when fresh powder is anticipated. My Epic Gear won’t be fully available until the winter of 2024-25, but a “pilot season” next winter will make it an option for a “limited number” of Epic Pass holders at four of the company’s resorts, all in Colorado — Keystone, Breckenridge, Vail and Beaver Creek. When the program is launched for 2024-25, users will pay a … [Read more...] about Vail Resorts plans to change the way skiers and snowboarders rent gear, including free delivery
