Attached is a picture of the Rio Grande Ski Train on the first run of the season from Denver to Winter Park. This is the 69th year of the Ski Train which began in 1940. Very cold but clear with the temp at 13 degrees F. The location is at the grade crossing at Tennyson St in Northwest Denver on the UP Moffat Sub.
