Feb 18th might have been a President's day weekend - or, more 
precisely, Washington's birthday (2/22) at that point in time (pre 
'76).  Which meant a 3 or four day weekend, which meant that the CB&Q 
was likely really pushing ski trips.  There were several clubs that 
took the DZ (or, more precisely, a section of same), taking up a car 
or cars - in at least one case, the ski party's train was taken off 
the #1 consist and taken on the D&RGW ski train.   The Q was 
extremely good at pushing special events and adding 
passengers.  Everything from fall color trips, to spring in the 
Rockies promotions.  And summer holidays, etc. etc.
