Jesus, Mary, and Patrick, the cogk railway _is_ taking people up for
skiing...

" Starting winter 2004-2005, skiing and snowboarding passengers will have
the option of riding the Cog Railway to the base of Cold Spring Hill, to
access beginner terrain; or to Waumbek, the site of the track's first
siding, about a third of the way to the summit, for intermediate-level
skiing and riding.
The groomed trails, running parallel to, and on either side of the railway
trestle, are about one mile long and offer 1,100 vertical feet of schussing.
The trails are located on land owned by The Mount Washingon Railway Company
and National Forest boundaries will be clearly marked."
