Ski License Plate in Colorado's Future?


If Colorado Ski Country USA collects enough names, Colorado drivers could get a ski-theme license plate.

Themed license plates that communicate a state's motto (e.g., New Hampshire's "Live Free or Die") or individual vehicle owners' personal beliefs (e.g., "Save the Manatee" on Florida plates). Colorado Ski Country USA is sponsoring a petition effort to win approval by the Colorado Department of Revenue for a "Ski Country USA" plate -- joining plates with such themes as "Firefighter," "Colorado Pioneer," Honorably Discharged Veteran" and "10th Mountain Division." The plate shown here is a prototype design -- but if 3,000 residents register online indicating they would be interested in such a plate, we could be seeing on the road -- hopefully soon.

If might want a plate, you can go to a special website and sign on to indicate your interest. Signing the petition is not a commitment purchase these special plates once they come out. Colorado plates once had "Colorful Colorado" on them. Utah's "Greatest Snow on Earth" find favor among Beehive State skiers and snowboarders. I'd pay extra to have a plate like this on my car -- a snow-worthy Subaru.

  3. There is a really cool new channel coming to cable and satellite television. It is The Ski Channel. They say they will have everything you can do on a mountain and all mountain activities such as skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, backpacking, climbing, basejumping, etc. So little of this is on television now. Lets help these guys make this work. Go to their website and signup. http://www.theskichannel.com.

    They have all kinds of contests, info and pretty cool stuff on their website.

    About time!
