Youll have to go on a bus once you get to denver if you dont want to go to winter park.

I'm not sure who its run by although i did think it was amtrack. It may be too early in the season right now though. Also, that would be hard to do anyway b/c it only leaves really early in the morning so its hard to time with another train. I still think your best bet is to get to denver then use other means to get to the mountains like either a bus or preferably one of the many shuttles that run.

The train station for Winter Park is in Fraser, about three miles away from the town of Winter Park and about seven miles away from the base of the ski area. You can get a free resort shuttle from the station to anywhere in the area.

I should add that the Amtrak station is in Fraser. The three letter code is WIP. The ski train, which goes between Denver and Winter Park, lets you off at the base of the ski area. www.skitrain.com If you are coming from Michigan, you probably just want the amtrak train.
