GIANT DEALS III

(el squat in Sun Valley)

This week's contests are easy to enter. They are all idiot proof. Some require a Facebook account, some an Instagram account, and others just autofill your email. Reading this is more difficult than entering. 

Enter your email (its worth it, I promise...)

Yet agin the bros at Backcountry.com continue to have the most contest with killer prizes. This one is for a hell-skiing and a hut trip. One is to AK, the other is to a little place called Sun Valley. Oh yeah, they include a $1000 gift card to the site. Clink to enter.... you know you should.

Park City is giving away a four night trip for free including airfare and all the gravy. 

Warren Miller and Sun Valley are giving away a three night trip with full accommodations at the lodge. They have 50 cent wings at the bar if you decide to spend some cash. The chairlift was invented at SV. 

Enter with your Facebook account to win stuff, no one cares what you like... 

Paragon Sports, where I once sold knives to tourists, is giving away an entire trip to Jackson, all they want is for you to like them. Click and like...

Liftopia is giving away an all expense paid trip to Banff and a bunch of gift cards. You like cheap lift tickets, win this contest. 

Ski.com is giving away a trip to North Lake Tahoe. They have casinos, a lake, and a mountain there. Get your entry in quick, this one ends soon. You should go. 

The SnoCru is giving away a killer trip to B.C. to go hell-skiing with Kingfisher outfitters. Click, clack...

These are more work.

Take a picture of you and your friends partying and tag it #cuzzinscontest and Mount Snow will give you some free passes. I wonder, when will you be partying with your friends and everyone will be taking pictures? 

Mammoth is giving away two lift tickets, you have to write a story about why you like it there. That should be pretty hard, they barely have anything going on... week

CAMPS 

GNU is hosting a camp for chicks next month. It's a hundred bucks with a ton of free stuff. The camp is on January 4th and a bunch of the pros will be hanging out in the park. The "women's only" park. Check it out. 

The kids at Mt. Hood are having a bunch of mini local camps. They are probably for kids and everyone else who is under 5'10''. Go ahead, sneak in, you're short.  The are $300 bucks unless you have a pass at these resorts, then you can just attend until they realize your a 31 year old who doesn't have 300 bucks. 

The dates and locations for the Windells camps are:
Brighton, UT 1/25/14 & 1/26/14
Hunter, NY 2/22/14 & 2/23/14
Stratton, VT 3/1/14 & 3/2/14
Snoquaimie, WA 3/15/14 & 3/16/14

I MADE A GIF OF THE ROBOT SMASH

If i make it bigger it won't GIF anymore and then you would just see a picture. So 1999- gross.

Here is robot at Sugarbush.

I like to imagine that the snow is a special kind of quicksand snow and robot is being pulled into the earth.

Not that i don't like robot- i adore him.

It's just more fun to imagine he's being sucked into the earth.

GIANT DEALS II

AMERICA'S HOLIDAY

 BLACK FRIDAY 

If your like me, when you go see your family this Thursday, you will find yourself absently minded staring out the window dreaming of powder days. So, if you are going to do one thing after eating all that turkey and mashed, while listening to your family ask those same questions again for the 10th year in a row, head to Liftopia and score lift tickets at 75% off. Yes, 75% off. I promise this will be the best thing you do, unless your actually riding on Thanksgiving. Riding on Thankgiving, ummmmmmm......powder..... While you at it, check out Evo, everything in the outlet is marked up to 70% off.

CONTESTS

 WARREN MILLER

Warren Miller Films is showing their latest flick giving away tons of lift tickets and prizes all over the world. If your fear of bedbugs keeps you out of movie theaters, you can enter their instaham contest to win a BC heli trip. Yeah, a BC heli trip for free.

SNOWBOARD MAG

Snowboard mag is giving away a completely ridiculous Smith optics package with goggles, helmets, and sunglasses. You need to enter by the end of this week, then the contest starts all over again, then it happens five more times this winter.

FREESKIER

Freeskier gives away tons of gear. Gear that doesn't suck. Gear that if you won, you would wear for like five seasons. Telling all your heads over and over, that you won it because of me. They give away coats and pants that will keep you as dry as a wearing a plastic bag. Yes, a plastic bag.

MOUNTAIN DEALS
WEST COAST 

HOMEWOOD MOUNTAIN RESORT - LAKE TAHOE

Everyone secretly wants to take lessons. Admit it, you do. Lessons are just insanely expensive and there's that whole awkward booking a lesson thing. At Homewood, they have eliminated all of your excuses. Really, all you have to do is make it to the top of the Homewood lift by 11:30 and get a free lesson. So, you can play blackjack till 4 in the morning, take a four hour nap, eat breakfast,  drink three Bloody Mary's, and stagger over to the lift while congratulating yourself on being the smartest person on the hill.

MOUNTAIN SPORTS CLUB

The Mountain Sports Club has an amazing deal out to Big Sky. You can get five nights in the hotel and three days on the hill for $459. The trip is on for the first two weeks of January. If that is too expensive, you can go to Jackson Hole for a five night trip with a five day pass for 400 bucks. Seriously, 400 bucks. A five day pass alone is more than that at Jackson.

VISIT SALT LAKE

If you want to travel less and ride more, Salt Lake is the easiest ski destination commute in America. Visit Salt Lake, is making every deal a bit sweeter, by adding a free fourth night to all trips to Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, and for the elitist among us, Alta. Just book through their website. 

EAST COAST

HUNTER MOUNTAIN - NEW YORK

Hunter Mountain is selling three lift tickets for $119 and you get a Big Lift Ticket Card which locks in low prices all year. The deal expires at the end of the month. They have a six person lift on the hill and a local named the Carvefather. Get it, like the Godfather, but with hardboots.

in case you were wondering, this is the advertisement that Hunter sends out via mail and interwebs for their Big Lift Ticket Card.
It's a picture of our dear friends gypsy and shaun (co-owner of Aegir Boardworks) after their joint lobotomy.

GIANT DEALS

(el squat's spread eagle on Limelight- Sun Valley)

BACKCOUNTRY.COM

Log into intstagram for the 12th time today and post some photos of yourself in 80's gear pulling 80's tricks to win some vintage Solomon gear (#salomonfreeskitv100). Rest easy knowing in 30 years you can enter this exact contest again. That triple McButttwist you have been working on will be as dated as the spread eagle.

ELEVATION OUTDOORS

It's not your contacts that are cloudy, scratched, and all fogged up. It's probably those 5 year old lenses on your goggles. The goggles that are strangely starting to smell like you wear them on your feet. It is never good to wear something on your head that smells like feet. Elevation Outdoors is giving away a sweet $300 gift card for goggles of your choice from the Sunglass Hut. Also, they are giving away a ton of other gear and have a mountain music playlist featuring sounds that will make you think of your grandpa, or your dog, or both.

NORTH FACE

Want to go to Russia? North Face is giving away a trip to the Motherland, to go to that thing that happens ever couple years. The Olympics. Enter. Win. Drink Budweiser in Russia. Make us proud.

ARKADE SNOWBOARDING  &  LRG

Arkade magazine and LRG are giving away a $500 spending spree, if you can read Burrito's article and answer 5 questions. I know, reading and answering questions.... It's probably easier to just keep wearing those pants from six years ago, with the custom holes in the pockets.

KEYSTONE

Tired of looking out the window, waiting for Christmas to end so you can actually afford to go to the hill and not sleep in the backseat of your VW. Keystone has rooms for half-price straight through the holidays, saving you enough money to not shop at the dollar store for Christmas presents.

MT HIGH

Cut out this little mountain Yeti and shoot some photos of yourself doing things others would consider "fun". Whoever has the most fun will win a 6 pack of tickets to the hill for the season.

NEVER SUMMER

Spend a week next summer snowboarding. What? Never Summer has decided to give away three insane trips this year including a week long summer trip to Copper. Yes, summer trip. All the 9 year olds will be pulling bigger tricks than you, but who cares? What do they know about life anyway, with their 80 million dollar trust funds?

If you can't afford a new deck, Never Summer is giving away anyone you want. All you have to do is enter the Scavenger Hunt on the website and record your crew completing a series of challenges. This requires meeting deadlines and a certain level of commitment, my guess...that 9 year old trust fund kid from Summer Camp wins.
