Last Chance to Win 390 Days of Free Skiing
Posted by Jessica Kunzer - Communication Director on September 2, 2010
390 days!?! What would anyone do with that? The answer is... ski your face off.
Although the contest has received a number of high quality applications, my friends at Ski Utah have decided to extend the run of the Ultimate Powderhound search two additional weeks due to the high volume of applications still being submitted. The winner will receive a spot on the Ski Utah blog team and a Ski Utah Silver Pass good for 30 days of skiing at every Utah ski resort.
