3 People Win Travel Contest to See Snow
Three people from different places around the world have won a travel contest and now will be able to see and experience the beauty of snow in Colorado. One contestant is from Hawaii, the second is from Atlanta, Georgia, and the third is from Australia.
During their winter adventure, the finalists will travel across Colorado, enjoying a variety of winter activities and working with local experts to learn how to ski, snowboard, snowmobile, snowshoe and more. The participants will also dine at some of the state’s notable restaurants, mingle at the hottest apres-ski spots, experience spas and hot springs and enjoying other vacation pursuits that are popular with Colorado visitors.
“The Snow at First Sight campaign will reveal Colorado’s incredible winter season through the eyes of those who have never experienced snow,” said Kim McNulty, director of the Colorado Tourism Office. “This is an excellent opportunity to use the popularity of social media to showcase Colorado’s destinations and wide variety of winter activities. Through the postings of our winners, ski enthusiasts and travelers of all interests will be inspired to visit Colorado.”
