Ski Train to Winter Park

While in Colorado we had to check out the skiing/snowboarding. We discovered it’s true what they say, Utah really does have the “greatest snow on Earth.”

We took the ski train to one of the oldest resorts, Winter Park. The ski train has been operating since 1940! Here are the links, just in case you want to check them out:

*Winter Park has the highest six person chair in northern America (12,000 + feet above sea level)!
