So what happened to serving the mountain during spring skiing? Did the WPE passenger loads drop off all of a sudden? There's still three weeks to go before the end of the season for "inbounds" skiing and boarding! Tons of people heading west for the great snow and warm weather skiing. Today's snow conditions can't get any better than this: Winter Park Resort: Open Snow: Powder Open trails 135/143 Open lifts 23/25 Date: 03/26/17 14:59 Re: Winter Park Express last Run March 26 Author: mundo Amtrak needs the equipment to fill out Spring travel demand. That was the original date advertised for the service.

Crowd on the mountain were WAY down. No lift lines at all, no crowds on the slopes. Once it gets warm in Denver, people's thoughs turn to golf and boating. Also, experienced skiers know to study the weather carefully and ignore the resorts' blurbs. When it's in the 40s on the mountain, what they call "powder" we call "mashed potatoes." As I type, my quads are still sore from trying to carve wet cement. Still, a bad day skiing is better than a good day at work.
