“Boycott the Staycation” Random Giveaway - Snowmass Goodie Bags
By MountainMama | July 23, 2008
When I received a press release from the Snowmass Village Director of Public Relations (and friend) Allison Johnson titled, “Don’t Settle for a Staycation This Summer,” I knew I found a partner in crime. (Or, at least, someone who might offer up some goodies to help us promote the Traveling Mamas “Boycott the Staycation” campaign.)
Indeed, with Snowmass Village a few hours’ drive from Denver (hey! maybe those superdelegates should visit after all their convening) and many other points on the Front Range of Colorado, Snowmass makes an awesome summer weekend destination. Heck, there’s so much to do in the Aspen/Snowmass area, it would be easy to fill a full week full of outdoor activities, fine dining, kick-butt music and other fun.
Snowmass Village is festival central in the warm-weather months: Snowmagical Family Fun Fest, Mountain Masterpieces Art Fair, Snowmass Wellness Experience, Oktoberfest and the Snowmass Balloon Festival are still on the docket this season. Then there’s the summer-long free concert series on Fanny Hill (pack your picnic and a blanket and listen to live music under the stars) and the world-renowned Jazz Aspen Snowmass concerts over Labor Day Weekend. Oh, and the authentic Snowmass Rodeo with BBQ and petting zoo every Wednesday night.
All summer long you’ve got activities on the ski mountain — disc golf, chair lift rides, guided nature walks and mountainboarding. And the best part? Prices for accommodations take a nose dive in the summer months — it’s much cheaper to stay in a slopeside condominium in August than it is in February.
So, in celebration of summer at Snowmass, and courtesy of Snowmass Village, I’ve got FOUR nifty gift packs to give away to folks who have already commented on TravelingMamas.com this month. April, KristalH, Melanie T and Lynn H will all receive a water bottle, chap stick, amazingly cool corkscrew (I am totally coveting), umbrella (that I am also coveting), tin of mints (that I need after my garlic-filled dinner tonight)… seriously, this is some super schwag. (I’ll be emailing you ladies to get your snail-mail addresses.)
Stay tuned, I’ve got a killer prize-specific Snowmass-related giveaway coming up by the end of the month, as well. So keep reading!

We travel to Denver a few times a year for amazing skiing and now that I know about Snowmass Village I think we are going to plan to take the 2 hour drive to spend some time there! Thank you for introducing me to them!
