"All-Ivy + Stanford" ski rain outing - organized by the Rocky Mountain Princeton Club. As the 70 participants from last year's outing can attest, if you haven't tried the ski train, you haven't lived fully. It's a great opportunity to meet people of all ages from the various clubs in an atmosphere where you can actually have a meaningful conversation. The route's scenery is gorgeous, the seating truly spacious and comfortable, and you are dropped within 100 yards of the slopes, closer than you can park. Rental equipment is available right where you are let off. If you don't care to ski, you can snowshoe, cross country ski, take a snowcat tour of the mountain, go for a sleigh ride, or rent a snowmobile, all from Winter Park. Since the ski train sells out every year, please take advantage of the entire train car we have reserved for you, your friends and your family. Pour La France supplies and staffs the cafe/lounge and snack bars on the train, offering an assortment of fresh juices, coffee, hot chocolate, breakfast burritos or croissants, and other delicious pastries and snacks.
