Learn about the History of the Ski Train

Arvada Roundtable
Thursday, February 2 at 5:30 pm (presentation at 7:00 pm)
7450 W. 52nd Avenue
Arvada
Bus: 76, 52
Both these buses run late. If you are taking the 76, get off right after I-70. You will be right by the restaurant, although you may have to walk up to 52nd to find a walkable way to get there. If you are taking the 52, get off on the stop after Wadsworth. You will have to walk back a little, but you are on the right side of 52nd.

The Arvada Roundtable meets every month to learn about some aspect of rail history. In February, they are presenting two programs on the history of the Ski Train. Steve Patterson will share the ski train presentation that he developed for the Aurora Historical Society. This presentation covers the train's history from its inception until its conclusion through 135 images. Kevin Morgan will follow with a program of contemporary Colorado railroading which will include the Ski Train.

The Lone Star Steakhouse lets the Arvada Roundtable use their meeting room for free because they eat dinner first. Dinner starts at 5:30 on the raised-seating section. When you arrive tell the hostess that you are with the Arvada Roundtable and go to the raised area and be seated. If you arrive on time, they will wait for you to finish dinner, but not if you are late. That said, the one time I came, I arrived at 6:00 and I had no trouble ordering and finishing my meal before 7.
