Nostalgia & History > Ski train in the mistDate: 09/18/24 03:23 Ski train in the mist Author: santafe199 I haven’t seen very much heavy mist/fog photography from the Front Range. But my late friend Gary Rich was more or less fearless in how & when he would point his camera! I like the way Rio Grande orange sorta burns through the mist in this image. It’s a nice change of pace...
1. D&RGW 5771 leading a ski train near Rocky, CO on September 25, 1978. Original Kodachrome slide by the late Gary Rich. Thanks for peering! Lance Garrels santafe199  Date: 09/18/24 14:07 Re: Ski train in the mist Author: tomstp I like it.

Perhaps a little early for running a Ski Train, though? Date: 09/18/24 16:20 Re: Ski train in the mist Author: santafe199 rrpreservation Wrote: > ... a little early for running a Ski Train, though?
Weee-ullllllll.............. That would make sense. But that's what was on the slide. And I'm not familiar with how early it can snow in the Rocky's rafters...

Same engine consist & same number of cars... It's entirely possible I transferred the wrong month from the slide. But I have seen snow in July in the elevations above Denver...

winter park sometimes struggles to open by thanksgiving in the past, more snowmaking helps Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/18/24 17:17 by dan. |
