Please keep in mind that the Winter Park base is at an elevation of 9,000 feet. Passengers should be in good health. To fully participate, passengers must be able to climb a few steps, and walk on even and uneven terrain.

Our train runs on track owned and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad. Therefore we have to share with other rail traffic. As a result, occasionally our train will be required to slow down or temporarily stop on a railway siding to allow other oncoming freight traffic to pass. Situations may also arise where we are delayed as a result of Union Pacific crews maintaining their lines to ensure safe tracks. We do remain in frequent contact with railroad dispatching throughout the day in an effort to arrive at our destination on time. Should the occasional delay occur, we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Lift Tickets

If you are planning to ski or snowboard, you can save by purchasing your lift tickets through the Ski Train.
