Every winter, the big blue Alaska train, the one that takes hordes of tourists up and down this state all summer long, is transformed into a party on rails. The train departs Anchorage early one February morning filled with hundreds of groggy skiers, everybody's very best potluck dish, 10 eager polka band members, and as much fermented beverage as each party cares to imbibe. The air is thick with anticipation. Picture the Hogwarts Express in Alaska. Although the exact details of what happens on the train are classified, some photos have been leaked in order to entice members of the usually under represented population of Girdwood. Girdwoodians usually object to the "planned ahead" nature of the event. Tickets sell out by November and the train does not leave the station until February. Perhaps these shots of revelers will convince you to set aside February 25th, 2006 and join the fun. Check out the Anchorage Nordic Ski Association's web page for more info.

This site is disheartening at its best and downright disturbing at its worst. When will you people ever grow up. Life isn't all sweaters and pumpkins damn it!
I already have my tickets !
Can we be guaranteed a good time?
My dearest Meeshell,
There are simply no guarantees in life, especially on the ski train. In all truth, the train is simply a hollow vehicle that you must fill with fun. You must bring your own merriment to pass around and share. If you are looking for a guaranteed good time, I'd suggest buying tickets to Circus Circus, its cheaper and there are prizes
