I'm thinkin it wouldn't be a bad idea to take Amtrak somewhere this Spring Break.... but i sort of don't know where to go. I'd like to either take the Empire Builder to Big Mountain Resort in Whitefish or the CZ and possibly a connecting train (CS maybe) to Salt Lake City for skiing around there. As usual, I was sure I could count on you guys to help me out here.
I rode the Builder from CHI to Essex and then from there to Seattle last summer, so repetition in the only thing keeping me from immediately opting for Big Mountain (less crouds, more snow). I thought it would be pretty neat to try something new and take the Zephyr from Emeryville to Salt Lake.... since going from Chicago is mostly farmland until Colorado and it's also like 4 times the price. I also checked taking the Starlight from Seattle to connect with the CZ but again, I'm 15 and so I can easily back away from the Starlight's huge price tag. I want to see alot of snow (blizzards would be awesome), but I know that it's gonna be the end of March and so there won't be that much anywhere. I'm just lookin for ideas or advice here..... or pictures.... i like them too : )
Thanks again,
