Winter Park-Fraser Valley announces video contest with exceptional prizes

Winter Park-Fraser Valley, Colorado recently announced a video contest titled “Would you rather be here…,”which launches on Feb. 15. The entry deadline is April 4.

The grand prize is six nights lodging and a $1,000 Winter Park-Fraser Valley Key Card, valid for purchases at participating stores. Runner-ups will receive a three-night stay and a $500 Winter Park-Fraser Valley Key Card.

The Key Card is a free program which rewards visitors towards their purchases at Winter Park-Fraser Valley. The card also helps for guests to track and spend incentive dollars through Winter Park-Fraser Valley promotions.

“The premise of this contest is to get people to show us with creative videos why they’d rather be in Winter Park-Fraser Valley than anywhere else,” says Catherine Ross, Winter Park-Fraser Valley Chamber Director. “Examples could be a video of being stuck in traffic, bored at home, or standing in a long line countered with a clip of their favorite activity in Winter Park-Fraser Valley. The sky’s the limit, and we’re excited to see what people come up with to show off all the great things to do in Winter Park-Fraser Valley.”

Winter Park-Fraser Valley is an exceptional – and easy to access – year round vacation destination, according to Ross. Available wintertime activities include downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, dog-sledding, tubing and sledding.

During the summertime, Winter Park offers mountain biking, hiking, fishing, golfing, water sports and horseback riding.
