It’s back, and it’s ready to party.

Winter Park Express Opening Day will celebrate the return of the popular winter tradition as the train chugs into Winter Park through the historic Moffat Tunnel on Saturday. After catching a ride and hitting the slopes, the resort will host a DJ, prizes and giveaways on the West Portal patio from 1 to 3 p.m., then live music by Ryan Kelly inside the Derailer bar from 3 to 5 p.m. before you head back into the city.

The ski train went dormant in 2009, but last year came back with a few test runs.

The train departs from Union Station, 1701 Wynkoop St., at 7 a.m. and arrives at Winter Park at 9 a.m., with 26 trips scheduled through March 26. winterparkresort.com or tickets.amtrak.com.
