If passed, House Joint Resolution 1008 would make skiing and snowboarding the official winter sport of Colorado, joiing the list of other state symbols which include the White and Lavender Columbine, the Colorado Blue Spruce, and the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep.
The idea of skiing and snowboarding as an official winter sport comes as no surprise to local State Representative Christine Scanlan, who is also co-sponoring the resolution.
“Of course skiing and snowboarding are the official winter sports. There is no other winter sport that appeals to Coloradans of all ages and is so much a part of our rich outdoor history,” said Rep. Scanlan.
To see his efforts carried out, Kane and his entire fourth grade class from Dennison Elementary School in Lakewood, visited the capitol to watch the initial vote on the resolution.
The resolution will be voted on in the Senate in the near future, where it is sponsored by Senator Moe Keller (D-Golden). Unlike a bill, resolutions do not require a signature of the Governor before being officially recognized.
