Drugs Confiscated From High School Ski Trip Bus

Students from Danville, Walnut Creek, Livermore and Concord among those on the trip

A bus caravan from California to Utah ski slopes carried a load of Contra Costa teens and a cache of illegal drugs, police said.

East Bay schools listed as participating included Acalanes, Alhambra, Campolindo, College Park, Granada, Las Lomas, Livermore, Miramonte, Monte Vista, Northgate, San Ramon Valley and Ygnacio Valley high schools, according to website for Summer Winter Action Tours, which ran the trip.

About 250 teens were asked to step off their bus caravan earlier this week at a rest stop in Elko, Nev.,
after witnesses spotted some members of the group smoking pot in the parking lot. A local sheriff responded, realized he had more kids than he could safely incarcerate and settled for confiscating the drugs — weighing in at nearly two pounds worth of Rocky Mountain High.
