It's finally here.

The 2012 Film On the Rocks summer line-up at Red Rocks Amphitheatre was announced this evening, and many movies that made the cut were picked for the people, by the people. Though carefully curated by the Denver Film Center -- and led by FOTR Program Director Britta Erickson -- if the inclusion of a film like The Notebook rubs watchers the wrong way, look no further than the audience itself:

"It wasn't just because this seems to be the year of Ryan Gosling," says Karla Rodriguez, Audience Development and Social Media Manager for FOTR. "It's because The Notebook has been one of our top five most-requested films consistently since it came out. From crowd surveys to Facebook polls, this is what the people want."

Last week we looked at some of the best early-bird deals on season passes at Colorado ski areas; now that details of the 2011/2012 Colorado Gems Card from Colorado Ski Country USA have been announced, we'd be remiss in not mentioning that its $10 price tag makes it a must-buy, no matter which other season pass you're opting for.

Gotta love Colorado, where Labor Day has come to be synonymous with winter gear sales like Sniagrab and Ski Rex, and the dog days of summer serve as a tidy reminder that the best deals on season ski passes are on right now. We spent a day huddled by the air conditioner sipping on Slurpees and scoping out some of the best deals available from now until Labor Day.

Silverton Mountain is a good seven-hour drive from Denver in the winter, but we're going to argue that their season pass deal is too good to pass up, especially if you buy one this week while they're 50 percent off: Silverton is selling a limited number of 2011/2012 season passes this week for just $399.

Friday the 13th has been associated with a lot of creepy shit over the years. From various natural disasters to Tupac's death, the date has been deemed unlucky by superstitious people everywhere. But rather than succumb to friggatriskaidekaphobia tomorrow and keep looking over your shoulder for Jason Voorhees, you can visit Phantom 8 Tattoo and Piercing and celebrate the eerie day by getting inked. The shop is offering $13 tattoos and piercings to celebrate their 13th year in business on this supposedly doomed day.

Thank you, Easter bunny! Copper Mountain's Spring Sunsation festival and 2010/2011 ski season winds up this weekend with a world record attempt on Saturday at 10 a.m. "Time to break out those swimsuits and sunglasses, because we're going to be trying to break the world record for most people to apply sunscreen at the same time at 1 p.m. on Saturday, and we've got like a hundred tubes of Zinka sunscreen," says Copper spokesman David Roth. There's live music at the base area featuring The Samples (Saturday's headliner) and Reel Big Fish (Sunday's headliner). And don't miss "Colorado's biggest Easter egg hunt" on Sunday, where the eggs stashed around the village and all over the mountain have been known to include season passes, lift tickets, Woodward at Copper session passes and gift cards for the shops and restaurants in the Copper Village.

Beaver Creek, Silverton Mountain and Echo Mountain all called it quits for the season yesterday, but that doesn't mean there isn't still perfectly good skiing and snowboarding to be had: Copper Mountain, Vail, Winter Park, Aspen Highlands and Snowmass are all throwing rites of Spring bashes this week and Easter celebrations this weekend. Beyond that, Loveland's keeping the dream alive until May 8 and Arapahoe Basin's aiming to stay open until sometime in June, while lift ticket deals abound.

What's the world coming to? Yesterday Aspen/Snowmass slashed its single day adult lift ticket price to $49; take another $10 off if you have a season pass from another mountain.

"Because Easter is two weeks later this year, we're treating these two weeks as a special bonus," says Aspen/Snowmass spokewsoman Meredith McKee.
