        Win 2 seasons passes + snow tires from Snowseekers

        Our friends at Snow Seekers have a great comp running this seaon which could land you 2 seasons passes at any resort they cover on their site (the list is long), so read on for more info:

        Compete the contest form here to enter to win TWO SEASON PASSES for the 2012/13 season to ANY resort that we cover on SnowSeekers.ca, as well as FOUR GOODYEAR TIRES (installed), courtesy of Fountain Tire.


        SnowSeekers is confident in proclaiming North America’s Northwest (British Columbia, Alberta, Montana, Idaho, and Washington) as the powder capital of the planet. To put our theory to the test we're going to have a Total Snowfall Count that will be running all season long—until May 23, 2012, when Sunshine Village closes for the season. 


        Just fill out the form on their site and the person with the closest guess to the actual number will win TWO SEASON PASSES to any resort listed in the navigation on our site. If multiple people are within the same number from the correct total, we will perform a random draw from the correct guessers—on video—to declare our winner.


        The destinations we will be aggregating snowfall for are:

        Mount Norquay

        Sunshine Village Ski & Snowboard Resort

        Lake Louise Ski Area

        Castle Mountain

        Edmonton's Snow Valley Ski Club

        Marmot Basin

        Nakiska Resort

        Big White

        Fairmont Family Ski Area
