Three roundtrips now every weekend from January 10 through March 29, with the popular $29 starting fares again this season<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WINTER PARK, Colo. \u2013 Every weekend this ski season can last for three days instead of two, with Amtrak \u201cski train\u201d roundtrips between Denver and Winter Park Resort on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, starting Jan. 10. Adult fares start at $29 each way and tickets are on sale now at\u00a0Amtrak.com\/WinterParkExpress<\/a>. Each ticketed adult can bring a child age 2-12 for half the adult fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will also be the second season of snack and beverage service using a\u00a0S<\/a>uperliner\u00ae Sightseer Lounge Car<\/a>, with windows from floor level and into the top of the railcar. Since 2017, more than 52,000 customers have avoided frustrating stop-and-go ski traffic on the roads to enjoy the service partnership on the rails by Amtrak and the resort named last year as the\u00a0\u201cBest in North America\u201d. The 2019 season set\u00a0a ridership record\u00a0on a transportation mode that is reliable, sustainable and friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2020 Amtrak\u00a0Winter Park Express\u00a0<\/em>will run each Friday, Saturday and Sunday through March 29. The Amtrak trains depart\u00a0Denver Union Station\u00a0at 7 a.m. and arrive at the resort at approximately 9 a.m., leaving Winter Park at 4:30 p.m.to return to Denver at 6:40 p.m. All times Mountain. The station is served by the Denver\u00a0Regional Transportation District (RTD)<\/a>\u00a0commuter trains to Denver International Airport, light rail, local or intercity buses, ride-sharing services and taxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public can choose from 36 roundtrips for the comfortable and scenic ride using RTD, BNSF Railway and Union Pacific tracks to pass through the historic Moffat Tunnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investments at the resort for this season include the new six-person Sunnyside lift, a $6 million upgrade to reduce the ride time from 8 minutes to under 4 minutes and give improved access to some of the most beloved intermediate terrain in the Mary Jane territory. This season will also see the first \u201cWinter Park Fireworks & Family Fests\u201d on Saturday nights Dec. 14, Jan. 18, Feb. 15 and Mar. 14 for fireworks, slope-side bonfires and more. Questions about the resort and its many features can be answered by calling the resort directly: 888-923-7275.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
