The train has dedicated storage for skis and snowboards that travelers are welcome to use at no extra charge. Since the train is a double-decker, you'll have the opportunity to go to the upstairs observation car, which provides awesome views of the Rocky Mountains. 

Need to catch the train on a weekday? Check out the California Zephyr. You'll just have to grab a shuttle connection at Fraser, CO, eight miles west of the resort. Use the station code WPS for Winter Park Resort to book the shuttle with your Zephyr ticket.
