CONTEST RULES


Play the Out There Venture Backcountry Booty treasure hunt contest and you get to explore different trails around the region and possibly win gift certificates for cool outdoor gear and other prizes. Here’s how it works along with a few rules you need to follow to play:

  1. We hide a booty certificate, that’s good for whatever prizes are up for grabs, near a trail somewhere in a park or recreation area in the greater Spokane area.
  2. We name the general location and offer up a few clues and photos on Facebook and the Out There Venture website (scroll down on this page for the clues and pics).
  3. You “like” the Out There Venture Facebook Page to keep in the loop when a new booty is up for grabs, and then check the contest page at OutThereOutdoors.com to review all the current clues.
  4. You take care not to trample native plants/wildlife while you’re searching. No digging, turning over rocks or disturbing shorelines, logs or brush that provide important wildlife habitat is required to find a booty and is highly frowned upon and will bring you bad booty karma! Walk, look around and pay attention to the clues and forest/nature around you. We also encourage you to take along a garbage bag for picking up trash whenever you’re out hunting for booty.
  5. We keep giving out clues on Facebook and on our website until someone finds the booty and wins.
  6. Winners take a victory photo (selfie preferred) at the location where they find it and tag the Out There Venture Facebook page to confirm that the booty has been found (letting us know that you found the booty right away is important–email us with questions).
  7. Follow the instructions on the booty certificate and we will let you know where to pick up the prize(s)

Clue #1

This Backcountry Booty is hidden in a place that was once known for being home to the largest herd of thoroughbred Jersey cows in the Pacific Northwest. If you look around you can still find remnants of the old dairy. Enjoy and be careful to not disturb nature. Make sure you have your Discover Pass. Enjoy the spectacular fall colors!

Clue #2

This place is quite magical! It has restoration projects and management by the Inland Northwest Land Conservancy. Check them out, if you don’t already know how amazing they are! The booty is hidden off trail, but please tread lightly on the land. You won’t need to disturb much to find the booty! Here’s your next clue: It’s not in this photo, but you are on the right track if you see these flowers. Bonus if you know the name of this native plant! 

P.S. it is NOT under sheet metal. Please don’t disturb the reptile hotels.

Clue #3

This photo clue is important. The Backcountry Booty is hidden somewhere in this photo. We did not have to disturb nature to hide it. You won’t need to disturb a pine needle to find it! Go find it and claim your prize to Torq Fitness & Soulful Soups.

The post Welcome To the Good Life At RED Mountain appeared first on Out There Venture.

]]> We are so lucky here in the Inland NW to live close to so many amazing snowy mountains, including world-class skiing a few hours north of Spokane in British Columbia, Canada! If you haven’t ever skied RED Mountain Resort in Rossland, BC, you’ll want to watch this little video to see what you’ve been missing.

If you’ve been making annual pilgrimages up to RED for years, well, then, you already know but will still want to watch as a reminder since it’s been a while. Time to get stoked now that Canadian border restrictions have lifted, and the dollar exchange rate is exceptionally favorable for U.S. dollars right now.

The best part about this short RED Mountain ski video? It’s all true and will inspire you to point your boards north toward The Good Life in Rossland. The terrain at RED is huge (5 peaks, 3 of them with 270-360-degree descents), the snow is reliably light and deep, lift lines are pretty much non-existent, and the locals are of the genuine and friendly variety you’ll want to share some poutine and a jug of beer with at Rafters at the end of the day!

RED Mountain Sweepstakes Alert!

Now that you’ve been initiated into The Good Life and are sufficiently psyched, enter right here to win an epic RED ski getaway that includes a four-night slopeside condo stay with a private hot tub and 3 days of skiing for 2 people!

What Makes RED Stand Out

We have a ton of choices for skiing and snowboarding here in our little corner of the Northwest, from smaller community-feel ski hills to expansive, world-class resorts. RED offers the best of both worlds: huge terrain (the top 10 largest in North America) with plenty of lift options that keeps people moving instead of standing in lines plus a laid-back, authentic small mountain town vibe that you typically only find at much smaller resorts.

With just a five-minute drive between the historic mining town of Rossland that has its own unique and friendly mountain town culture and RED, it’s no wonder Rossland was voted Canada’s #1 ski town two years in a row by USA Today!

Photo: Ashley Voykin, courtesy of RED Mountain Resort.

With a wide range of lodging options, from hostels and the new mid-mountain Constella Cabins to slope-side condos and boutique hotel rooms at the Josie, there’s a ski-and-stay lodging option for just about every budget and comfort-level preference.

The current exchange rate means Americans automatically get 25-30% off already affordable lift ticket and lodging deals (as low as $85 USD for a lift ticket!). Don’t take our word for it, start exploring now and find your own version of The Good Life at RED this winter!
