Colorado Tourism Office To Offer Free Winter In The Mountains To "Snow Virgins"

The Colorado Tourism Office is cooking up yet another scheme to boost the struggling tourism economy this winter.

The AP reports:

Three lucky people who have never experienced snow will get a chance to spend three months reveling in it and sampling some winter activities in Colorado for free... The winners will get an expenses-paid trip to Colorado from January through March and will partake in snowmobiling, skiing, and snowshoeing with the help of instructors and guides.

Below, check out some of the craziest--and best--deals being offered up this winter by ski resorts struggling with the economy.

Other potential perks include a membership at the Caribou Club, tickets to local events, a ski or snowboard set-up and a grocery stipend.
