The Ski Train makes its first of 43 trips for the 2006-2007 Ski Season early on the morning of December 27. The train is booked nearly to its 850 person capacity as it hustles west toward the intermediate signals at "Chemical", in between Leyden and Rocky.

Unfortunately, the classic Rio Grande block signals at Chemical have been replaced by a single mast signal (with a head facing each direction). Regardless, this classic view at MP 14.5 still looks good with the Kansas on the back of the westbound Ski Train.

The Ski Train rounds the curve out of Clay toward Blue Mountain on its first run of the season. Fogs rests amongst some of the shorter buildings in the Denver area in the distance.

On a very quiet Colorado morning, SKTX 242 leads the Ski Train west. Much of the three feet of snow that fell in a blizzard one week ago remains on the ground. The head end of the train has just crossed over CO-72 at the base of Coal Creek Canyon.
