Good points. Even though many mass transit systems run at a loss, how much tax support would there be for a 3-4 month/year ski train? It wouldn't benefit the vast majority of voters who have much more pressing issues for their tax dollars.
The probability of a ski train is nil, so the focus should be on more realistic approaches. Buses, higher MPG vehicles, and carpooling are some.
