Skiing History
Mass Transportation for Skiers
In December 1936, as winter sports became increasingly popular, the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad ran special trains to carry skiers from Salt Lake City to Park City. The following year a train ran from Ogden. In 1939 a nine-coach train brought hundreds of skiers to ski and to watch spectacular ski jumping at Ecker Hill.
