Make the Ski Train a group event!  The Ski Train is great for entertaining clients in style, or rewarding employees in a way they will never forget.   Groups of 12 or more can participate in the program.  

 


Group Rates

 

Coach

$39  For groups on summer trips confirming 12 or more seats.  

                   

The Ski Train Coach Service can accommodate a group size of 12 to 612. If you want your group to have their “own car”, we have coaches which accommodate 62 or 74 passengers. Each car is equipped with reclining seats, and is conveniently located near all on-board amenities. It is perfect for corporate, church, school and others to plan a group excursion.

 

Club

$74  For groups on our summer trips confirming 12 or more seats.  Club cars hold a maximum of 38 passengers per car.

Club seating is limited and sells out quickly.  We strongly recommend making advanced reservations.
The Ski Train’s three Club Cars hold 38 passengers each. Catering by Design is contracted to provide all the food and beverage service aboard the Ski Train.  Please contact Renee Brown directly at 303-762-7307 for any special catering needs for your group.  Many groups find that the Club Car atmosphere is the perfect way to entertain clients.  What better way to have a captive audience, while mixing business with pleasure.  In order to have a presentation, a group must reserve an entire Club Car.

 Presentation Retreat Car

Special Summer rate of $3000 for the entire car.   

Accommodates up to 50 passengers.

The Ski Train has totally refurbished a train car like no other.  Specifically designed for informal business or social gatherings, the car will accommodate up to 50 passengers.  The car offers a staffed bar, reclining seats, couches and cocktail tables.  Guests can gather while they enjoy a continental breakfast buffet on the way up to the mountain and afternoon snacks on the return trip.  The car is equipped with an elevated podium, microphone with speakers, and a laptop-ready AV system, including a flat screen monitor.  Beer, wine and margaritas are available for purchase on the return.

We have 9 Coach cars (some with snack bar), 2 cafe/lounge cars, and 3 Club Cars with their own bar.  The Ski Train can accommodate an average of 700 passengers - 532 Coach seats, 50 in the Presentation Retreat Car and 114 Club Car seats.  Special advance arrangements are required to charter the Ski Train for special excursions. 

 

Luxury Private Railcars

You may have entertained friends or associates in private rooms at sporting events or in boxes at the theater.  Transform that ambience into a more moving experience with an unforgettable trip through the Rockies on a private luxury railcar.  In a tradition once enjoyed only by a privileged few, your group can now charter our luxury railcars, ideal for business entertainment, social gatherings, and family celebrations.  For a unique and memorable experience, treat your guests to a relaxing trip on our private luxury railcar. You’ll experience a new definition of “getting away from it all”; on an ultimate trip you’ll never forget!

 

Three luxury cars are uniquely tailored for group entertaining.  All three cars must be charted for a Ski Train excursion, and hold up to 70 people.

 

The Utah – Feel festive – not frazzled – during your mountain passage.  Aboard the Utah, plush and abundant seating make for a relaxed, sociable setting.  Friends share the day’s adventures amid Orient Express-style decor.  With a fully equipped kitchen, and experienced staff, your request is our pleasure.  The Utah offers a treat for both eye and palate.
The Kansas – On the rear observation platform of the Kansas, fresh Colorado breezes and grand scenery welcome you into the Rockies.  Indoors, the Kansas offers all the comforts of home.  Groups gather in the living room, complete with comfortable chairs and a sofa, or enjoy meals in the separate dining room.  There’s no place like the Kansas for an intimate gathering.
The California (Winter only) – Lose yourself in the grandeur of the great outdoors, or celebrate the day with champagne upon your twilight return into the city.  Such are the pleasures of the California.  In the upper deck Vista Dome, passengers confer over cups of coffee and devour an early morning breakfast – all under a Majestic Rocky Mountain sky.  The California also has 8 comfortable bedroom compartments.
