As part of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games celebrations, Tourism British Columbia is giving skiers and snowboarders a shot at winning one of the biggest ski prizes ever offered: the opportunity to ski like they own their own mountain.
One winner and 19 friends gets to choose one of 13 BC mountain resorts for a five day/four nights VIP skiing experience. As part of the prize package, each of the 13 mountain resorts gives winners one day of exclusive access to some of the best lifts and runs at the resort. Destinations like Revelstoke, Kimberley and Sun Peaks will close off a significant portion of their resort exclusively for the winners’ use, while others like Whistler will be offering extras such as first tracks of the day, skipping the lift lines, and personal mountain guides. The wide variety of mountains to choose from offers a huge range of skiing experiences – everything from deep powder and rocking nightlife to family friendly ski-in villages and spectacular scenery.
“I think this is an amazing prize and I am so excited to be inviting people to come ski in my own backyard,” says Ashleigh McIvor, Whistler local and 2009 World Cup Ski Cross Champion. “The huge diversity of terrain in BC has really been a well kept secret up to now. I’m glad that this year we are getting a chance to share it with the world.”
The prize will be awarded in March of 2010 and winners will have an opportunity to visit BC with their 19 closest friends in March or April. All contest details and the entry form can be found here.
