Sliding on the Cheap Colorado Steal and Deals!! 1-19-06

[Johanna Ellis]

  Ah, snow. Does it ever stop. Obviously not in Colorado. This has been one great year so far. And to make it even better, we here at SOTC have found you only the best deals possible. So strap in and hold on... we've got a bumpy ride...
   
  We've got sun, but snow showers are on the way! The people over at www.weather.com also call for some snow throughout the weekend, which will make for some wonderful weekend sliding. Temperatures will remain in the low twenties, so bundle up and keep warm. 
   
  The SOTC Skinny Okay, after sorting through all the information, we at SOTC know what to expect in Colorado for the coming week, and there's a lot to get through. I'm talking about ticket deals, various group and student discounts, holiday promotions, tons of special offers, and a whole bunch more! 
   
  But what, you say you're not a subscriber? Dude, what's up with that?! That's definitely not kosher! Without a subscription you won't know about some of the sweetest deals around. So why not give yourself a gift this holiday season and sign up here: www.slidingonthecheap.com 
  Oh yeah, and while you're checking out the site, you might want to check out our other regional newsletters. It just might help you plan that extra special sliding vacation, and heck, it really is a fun read. So head on over, its just a hop, skip and jump away!  
   
  Okay sliders, grab your boards and skis and get ready, this will be a bumpy ride...
