Glenwood Springs Mall Opening Day and Treasure Hunt- All season long!

Some Roaring Fork locals anticipate the annual Treasure Hunt almost as much as opening day itself! At the beginning of the season, we will hide a treasure chest somewhere on the mountain three times during the season, containing a Sunlight season pass for the following year. On Sunlight’s opening day, Friday, December 4th, the first clue of the year will be posted at Guest Services, on our website - sunlightmtn.com, and in the Post Independent Classifieds. Each Friday, a new clue will be posted until someone finds each treasure! Once one treasure is found, another will be hidden.

Clues...

1. If you are looking for me, then point your tips to the west and I will be FREE!

2. Going Green isn't just about recycling and protecting our environment.

3. There is a traditional celebration blessing held at Sunlight every year. This celebration is performed by the people who are represented by the run I can be found on.

4. Do you like to cruise? Well... don't get too carried away. You won't be cruisin' for long if you want to find a 2010-2011 Sunlight season pass.

5. Left or right? Choose wisely because this race could be tight.

6. If you haven't found me on either side, try the middle and there you will solve the riddle.

Spring Thing -- March 20th and 21st

Sunlight Mountain Resort is preparing for a little more sunshine. Sunlight will be hosting “Spring Thing” on March 20^th and 21^st. There will be exciting events for everyone of all ages! There will be a Poker Run to raise money for C.A.R.E. animal shelter on Saturday. The winner of the Poker Run will receive a season pass to Sunlight for the season of 2010-2011.

Sunlight has teamed up with Crystal River Spas to bring on the heat! There will be two hot tubs set up in front of the lodge. One will be for professional skiers and snowboarders who will be ridin’ and grindin’ a rail that will be set up over the tub. The other is there for you! Anyone is welcome to bring their bathing suit to soak in the sun after a long… or short day of skiing. With snow in the forecast, it will make for a fun and soft March.

A “funky” trio of just guitar, bass and drums will bring an exciting atmosphere to the deck of Sunlight on Saturday at 2:00 pm. The Holden Young Trio will play live music that everyone can enjoy. They are originally from Boulder and venturing on their spring tour.

Sunday will be a day filled with sunscreen and tropical drinks! There will be a tropical costume contest and free ice cream from Dairy Queen. You can also challenge your friends to a mogul dual down Dotsero.
