The valley's best kept secret is that from directions that most visitors view Bald Mountain, it looks just like it did pre-fire. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Consider a low-cost promotion: send a labled, before-and-after picture of Bald Mountain with a headline like: "Thank you firefighters for keeping our mountain just like it was."
Send pictures and a choice of several stories to selected media:
"Top lady fire commander saves Sun Valley"
"Government does it right in Sun Valley fire fight"
"Miracle fire-fighting techniques save Sun Valley"
Creatives in the valley can communicate a dramatic story that editors can't resist as we think smarter.
