DRIVE UNDER WAY FOR SKI LICENSE PLATE
Ski And Snowboard Design Would Be Added To Specialty Plate Choices
DENVER, Colo. - January 23, 2008 -In response to continued interest from Colorado residents, Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) announced today its involvement in an initiative to offer drivers a ski themed license plate for vehicles registered in Colorado. CSCUSA felt it was appropriate to play a role in working with the state to offer a ski plate because skiing and snowboarding are an integral part of Colorado's culture, heritage and economy; and because Colorado offers some of the best skiing and riding in the world.
"Ever since I can remember, folks have been asking for a ski license plate for Colorado," explains Rob Perlman, president and CEO of CSCUSA. "We seemed to be the logical group to help work with the state to be able to offer one."
In asking the state for a ski license plate, CSCUSA must submit an application that includes a list of 3000 names of individuals interested in a ski license plate, to the Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR.) The signatures on the list must be people with a valid Colorado address that would allow them to purchase a Colorado license plate.
The final look of the plate is yet to be determined. CSCUSA will submit the prototype shown below for the design, however, it may not be the final design as the DOR retains discretion on the ultimate look of the plate.
People interested in supporting the ski license plate can add their name to the list of interested parties by visiting www.coloradoskiplate.com and including their full name, complete address, county and number of sets of license plates they would potentially be interested in purchasing.
Adding a signature to the list means the individual is showing an interest in a ski license plate, it does not mean a commitment is being made to purchase a plate. When the plate is made available, the cost is a one-time extra charge in addition to the normal vehicle registration fee. Currently the extra charge for special plates is $50.00. The ski plate could be available as early as 2009.
