On Board The Ski Train

We started out on this train with a bunch of people and landed up making great friends and having a fantastic trip.

Here is a shot of me and Lesleigh on board the ski train headed into the mountains.

The Denver Ski Train

There are not many places or opportunities that anyone gets to ride on a ski train. We got to go on the ski train this weekend out to the very base of the mountain slopes. The ski Train is America’s largest scheduled passenger train and is in its 69th season offering a postcard-perfect train experience through the dramatic peaks of the Rockies. Skiers and sightseers alike enjoy a day at Winter Park/Mary Jane Resort, one of Colorado’s most popular winter destinations.

For comfort, convenience and amenities, there’s no better route to go. We travel through scenery you’ll never see any other way. In addition to the scenic wonders of the Flatirons and South Boulder Canyon, we encountered rugged alpine wilderness and vistas not to be seen anywhere else but on the Ski Train. We passed through dozens of tunnels including the historic Moffat Tunnel under the Continental Divide.
