Capacity and the single destination aside, who is taking this train? Likely only people who live near Union Station and are willing to walk with all their ski gear to take the train. For anyone else, what are they doing? Cramming onto a light rail or RTD bus before and after? Driving their car near Union, paying for parking, and hoping the car doesn’t get broken into all day? It does even get there at a reasonable hour to get first chair or hit fresh slopes after a storm. If anything it might be nice in spring when the slopes need a few hours in the morning to soften up.
I get the desire to not have to deal with traffic and weather to the slopes but this doesn’t seem to be a “solution” for most skiers.
We're fixing to find out. I have a feeling that most skiers have already made their choice as to transportation. Just wish that those that benefit would be those that pay here.
I don't ski. It's a rarity for me to be on I-70, yet out on the Plains I get to support this stuff.
