A new shuttle service from Chilliwack to Manning Park Ski Resort is being launched Sunday morning by Mt. Waddington's Outdoors.

"We saw the potential of giving people access into the back country at Manning Park with the creation of a shuttle," said owner Sam Waddington.

The shuttle is a converted 15-passenger van owned and operated by the outdoors store that will leave from Chilliwack every Sunday and Wednesday bound for Manning Park Ski Resort, with a short stop in Hope along the way.

"A lot of people are looking for ways to avoid the drive or may want to join others from their community who are heading to Manning," he said.

The shuttle bus will head out from Mt. Waddington's Outdoors ($35) at 6:15 a.m. or from the Blue Moose Café in Hope ($30) at 7:15 a.m. on Sundays and Wednesdays.

It starts on Jan. 10. See more at: http://mtwaddingtons.com/guide/manning-park-ski-shuttle/

Reservations will be taken at the store or online to guarantee a seat.

Once there, the driver will park at the ski hill and enjoy the snow activities ranging from snowshoeing, alpine or cross country skiing. The goal is arriving at Manning by about 8:30 a.m. with plans to be back in Chilliwack by about 6:30 p.m.

"It's exciting stuff," Waddington said.

"We're trying to fill the gaps. Most mountain resorts offer these types of shuttle services for their guests. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what we plan to do."
