Passengers board the Ski Train in Winter Park on Jan. 15, 2006, before its two-hour trip back to Denver.Re: Aug. 25 news story.
Hooray for Gary DeFrange and his success in restarting the Ski Train! The leisurely ride is an excursion to be treasured in itself. From the early morning trip up to Winter Park packed with the excitement and camaraderie of anticipation, to the ride back in weary but pleased accomplishment, the trips are perfect bookends. The views are stunning, the conversations delightful, and the experience memorable.
There are too few examples of individuals who step up and accomplish what so many say is impossible, even when those others yearned for the same goal. DeFrange did it and I, for one, am grateful.
