I rode Amtrak's legendary Winter Park Express train to a Colorado ski resort. It's a great alternative to driving.
Briefly

The Amtrak Winter Park Express, affectionately nicknamed the 'Ski Train,' provides a hassle-free option for those wishing to visit the Colorado mountains without the stress of driving. This two-hour ride offers a chance to enjoy beautiful views as well as the convenience of arriving directly at Winter Park ski resort.
With fares starting at $19, the Amtrak Winter Park Express makes skiing accessible to many. My round-trip ticket cost $58, which is a small price to pay for avoiding traffic and enjoying a scenic journey.
The train ride is not just about the destination; it's also about the experience. Riding the 'Ski Train' meant I could relax and take in the picturesque landscapes without the worries of navigating mountain traffic.
Operating from late December through the end of March, this train service is an ideal choice for day trips to the snow. It facilitates spontaneous outings to enjoy winter sports, making skiing more appealing for people living in and visiting Denver.
