Become the Media
This campaign has been massively successful. Budding media artists and photojournalists have come together to expose the gritty truth about how a ski area is made. They have used words, blogs, photos, videos, and word of mouth to bring you the information you need to know. Not one press release was sent, no newspaper covered it, but we have reached over 40 countries on 6 continents. You truly have become the media! This section contains instructions on how to get started and tons of open source media you can use, share, and publish without any sort of attribution. All is released under an open source license and is free to use.
