Winter Park Ski Train Resumes January 13th 2023

Driving in the mountains is hard, well doing most things in the mountains is hard but driving can be exceptionally difficult. The mountains in the front range above Denver can be treacherous both from the conditions and the sheer number of drivers on I70. Thankfully for those looking to get up to an incredible ski resort it’s as simple as jumping on a train at Denver’s Union Station which whisk you, your family and your skis/snowboards up to Winter Park Resort. Winter Parks very popular ski train will commence operations again on January 13th and you can get in early to reserve your tickets now. Tickets for adults start at $34 on way and $17 for the kiddies. The schedule for the train operates on Friday’s, Saturday and Sunday’s from January 13th through to the weekend of March 24-26.
