Weather in Colorado is never predictable. Case in point: the high temperature in Denver on this Spring day was 55 degrees. In Winter Park, the snow was horizontal and you couldn't see more than 200 yards away! Passenger hurry to get off the train and head for the slopes.

During a brief pause in the storm, the sun shines on the Ski Train, sitting in the siding at Fraser, waiting for 3:15pm to roll around so the train can head back to Winter Park.

The MNYRO heads west through Fraser with a patched Espee AC4400 on the point. The clouds are starting to lift a bit in the background.

Passenger walk along car 4 toward the front of the train, looking for their respective cars. The train stops here at the base of Winter Park for up to 30 minutes (until 4:15pm) to load passengers.
