Beaver Lodge Winter Park Lodging

The Ski Train was first introduced in the 1940’s and primarily used by the Eskimo Ski Club.  In the late 1980’s the Ansco Investment Company purchased the train and updated the railcars.  In fact, the vintage railcars were sold to the Napa Valley Wine Train in California.  The Ski Train takes about 2 hours and begins in Denver, travels through the Moffat Tunnel, and ends at the base of Winter Park Ski Resort.  The Ski Train railcars consist of coach seating and luxury club dome/sleeper, business, or parlor seating.  The dome railcar consists of a glass top that allows 180° views of the Rocky Mountain’s.  Club seating also includes continental breakfast and après ski snacks on the return trip.    During the winter season the train runs every Saturday and Sunday, and during the high season the train also may run on Thursday and Friday.  During the summer the train runs on Saturdays.  The Ski Train continues to be one of the most exceptional and fun transportation methods for winter and summer lovers alike, providing unique views of the Rocky Mountain’s and the Winter Park area all year round. ALL ABOARD!!

You know I thought that Winter park was going to be fun for the skiing and bars but i could never have thought of the stuff that was going on while I was staying here.

I found that while i was staying in Winter Park there was a lot to do. First, after a great day of skiing I found a few great spas and places to get massages that I just loved, you don’t get the kind of service in Denver that you do here. After I was totally relaxed and had my share of people pummeling my back into dough I decided to hit the town.

While there aren’t a lot of bars in the Winter Par area there is a large presence felt by the bars. I didn’t go to one bar with out there being a great deal on drinks or hearin live music. All in all I found my experience in Winter Park to be fun and enjoyable.

Residents gear up for winter this month at the Winter Park Ski Resort. The annual ski swap is a big hit and the deals on gear from bikes to snowboards to cross country skis and equipment are very affordable. Snow is back this weekend in the valley as well getting everyone ready for winter!

The Veterans Rally may or may not return next year to Winter Park. The main issues are concerns over safety, traffic flow, and the “communities core values.” This summer was the rallys second year in the Fraser Valley. Local businesses claim the rally was one of the best events of the summer.  Some notable features are, the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall, and a military parade in downtown Winter Park.
