400 tickets for 1-day return of Winter Park ski train sell out in 12 hours [View all]

400 tickets for 1-day return of Winter Park ski train sell out in 12 hours
DENVER - Winter Park and Amtrak say all 400 tickets were sold within 12 hours for a one-day, roundtrip ski train excursion to the resort from Denver.
Winter Park spokesman Steve Hurlbert said Thursday that that response to an alternative to clogged highway helps build the case for resuming regular service. Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari agrees, but says it's not yet clear how such service would look.
The $75 tickets for the March 14 trip marking Winter Park's 75th anniversary sold out Wednesday. No more trips are scheduled this winter.
The Winter Park Express will depart Denver at 7 a.m. and arrive at the resort at 9 a.m. The train will leave Winter Park at 4:15 p.m. and return to Denver at 6:15 p.m.
