Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Entry is now closed!

The winner will be calculated as follows...
All entrants, who got the question right (The answer is '63'), have been numbered sequentially in alphabetical order of their usernames.

Each post to the forum has a unique number - cursor over the little page symbol on the right of any post: it's the number that follows the # symbol.
eg. http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=85438&start=80#1992168 the post number is 1992168

The winning number = (The number of the last post tonight,GMT) MOD (the total number of Correct Entries)

ie. divide that post number by the total number of correct entries and the remainder is the winning number.

Thus, since no-one (outside the moderators*) knows the number of correct entries, no-one can hype the post count to improve their chances Toofy Grin
I wonder if Ricklovesthepowder will survive the anticipation until mid-night! Shocked

*Any user with moderator or admin rights who wishes their entry to remain valid may not post after 11:45PM (GMT) tonight.

Data used to calculate the winner will be available to super/mega-snowHeads for scrutiny Little Angel

Or... I could have built a nice little random number generator but how would U know I really had and wasn't just making a number up out of my head. And what if one of my friends won?
It was bad enough when my neighbour won those Salomon skis last year! I didn't even know she read snowHeads Shocked

Or could have pre done a load of numbers ready (would have neen easy to pre know approx how many will be needed if done a couple of days in advance and then added any extras in) then pulled one of them out of hat and looked that number up on the list...... But if your happy with your way (keeps it more interesting Happy)

Congratulations MKValiant, I guess it was easier not winning, at least I don't now need to find enough money for lift pass or get my mum to have the girls for the week. Happy

Can i just ask. On Snowheads, usually if the prize isnt claimed within 24 hours, the prize is moved onto the next person. Will that be happening with this competition?

look back t page 1. is there a mention of a time limit on claiming prizes? No? then there's no time limit on when the prize can be claimed.

and as for the "one post only" - part of the idea of running competitions like this is to encourage people to join up and join in. I recall several years ago we were members of a local ski club where at the annual "knees up", the top prize was always a free holiday on the next season's trips. My mate's sister had just signed up to the club to join us on the trip we;d booked for, and she won. Some of the older members were disgusted that a "proper" member hadn't won, i.e. someone who'd been coming for years

that ski club no longer exists - we, like several other member, decided that it wasn't the kind of club we wanted to be in
