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. |
Well, the probability of a ski train is greater than nil, because they already exist in the north east (NYC and other minor examples). (So, technically the probability is one.) The probability of seeing one in NH is very very low due to the state's politics--how would a train operator get right of way or even licensed?
Nice buses would be great. If I could find a comfortable bus with regular service to one of the major ski resorts, I'd probably allocate my pass money to that resort. High MPG vehicle? We'll probably see a shift towards them, but I'd personally rather take a train (or equivalent) than drive.
