You lucky LUCKY snowHeads!
We have an insanely good list of prizes this year - seriously! 30 prizes including 3 holidays (one being a chalet for 13!), 4 pairs of skis, an airbag system... Even the 'last' prize is a totally awesome snowHeads T-shirt! A rough tally puts the total value of the prize pool at around £8000 Our donors really have outdone themselves! So your chances here are WAY better than the lottery and, erm, (as if that wasn't enough) it's FREE to enter! So why wouldn't you?
Why are we doing this for you?As I'm sure you can imagine, it's a huge amount of work putting all this together. Yes, we're doing it cos we love you and yes, we're doing it because we love the brands that have supported us here (yes, yes, we're such tarts!)
Seriously though, snowHeads has a strong history of support from a solid community core. For example, our first year's running costs were funded entirely by voluntary donations. We still receive voluntary donations but out of this has evolved a more formalised structure of subscriptions that allows us to gather benefits for our supporters from around the industry in the form of discounts and offers. More importantly, it provides resources allowing us to focus on more community-orientated activities such as this Draw rather than purely commercial aspects.
This kind of support gives us the time and space to do stuff like this that is of a community rather than a commercial bent. In effect, if you're a super/mega snowHead, you've made this possible  - if you're not, you have the super/mega-snowHeads to thank!
So to sum-up, we're not MAKING you subscribe to enter this draw and we NEVER would as that would be against the snowHeads ethos! However we just want you to know that we would appreciate it very much if you did support snowHeads!
Please make sure you read the Rules at the bottom of this post so you're not accidentally naughty.
Here's the amazing stuff you could win:
<table><tr><td>1</td><td>An Austrian Adventures chalet holiday for up to 13 people ! (s/c with option to upgrade to catered) OR a week for 2 catered </td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td> A fully catered week's chalet holiday for two with Ice & Fire in Paradiski </td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td> A SnowCoach short break for 2 to St Gervais or Valmeinier </td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>A pair of Whitedot skis (traditional construction) of your choice (with option to upgrade to CarbonLite) </td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td> A pair of Armada Declivity Touring/Freeride Skis, 184cm </td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>A pair of Salomon X-Drive 80 All Mountain skis (inc bndings), 170cm </td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>A pair of Erbacher White Cat skis, 160cm </td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Scott Air Free AlpRide Avalanche Airbag Backpack from Edge&Wax </td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>A private ski/board lesson for two with Gavin at NewGen Serre Chevalier </td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>A week's ski hire for 2 any time this winter from Alpinresorts </td></tr><tr><td>11-14</td><td>Four Pairs of Rambla Gloves from Black Diamond </td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>A ski or snowboard tune & lesson with expert Jon at The Piste Office </td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>Medium Black Womens Polar Shift Mid-Layer, from Trew Gear </td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>A Man's or Woman's Yed jacket, 100% stormproof, from Didrikson </td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>A pair of the new Superfeet Carbon ski footbeds from Solutions4Feet </td></tr><tr><td>19</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>20</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>21</td><td>Smith I/O Goggles from Sports-Outlet </td></tr><tr><td>22</td><td>A pair of Ortovox Swiss wool Freeride Leather Gloves from SnowShepherd </td></tr><tr><td>23</td><td>A pair of Head Supershape Vario Carbon Adjustable poles from SnowCore </td></tr><tr><td>24</td><td>An All Mountain CrossRider22 Backpack from Ortovox </td></tr><tr><td>25</td><td>A Man or Woman's PhD SmartLoft Divide midlayer zip jacket from smartwool </td></tr><tr><td>26-28</td><td>2 x Zaini Luxury Beanie Hats & a headband </td></tr><tr><td>29-30</td><td>A snowHeads fleece and a snowHeads T- Shirt </td></table>
But that's far from all folks!
These are the rules!!… Draw to take place on, or soon after, Mon 15th December 2014.
Entry is open to any registered snowHeadExcept admin because why should he have nice things like normal people? And if he got something nice, people would just say he fixed it and it was never because he deserved to be lucky just once, to know what it felt like, like he was the magic one this time! on the snowMail list and not 'down a crevasse'.
SnowHeads outside the UK are welcome to enter too but we may ask you to cover the shipping cost of your prize.
One entry and hence one prize per snowHead – entries by sock puppets will result in them and their owners being disqualified and publicly ridiculed
Entries may be submitted up to 9PM GMT on Fri 12th Dec 2014. Entries after this time may have just got lucky or may not be included at all.
Entries will be drawn via a randomising mechanism (the metaphorical hat).The Hat will be button actuated and the button will be made available to registered snowHeads to press so they can feel empowered as the ones metaphorically drawing the names from the hat. Each registered snowHead may draw one name - it is possible to draw their own name however they have no power of influence over this unless they are actually magic or something.
Winners will be allowed to choose their prizes in order of draw.
Draw will be announced on snowHeads.com and winners notified by email to their snowHeads registered address. So make sure we have a valid one - and whitelist zeManagement@snowheads.com we can not be held responsible for your overZealous spam filter!
Winners who have mobile numbers in their profiles (User Facilities (top left) => Personal Profile) may receive an SMS prompt - but no promises!
If after 24hrs a winner has not responded with their choice of prize, the queue will move forward and another winner will be drawn.
We, snowHeads are making all this happen for free and for no direct profit or personal gain: the donors of the prizes have offered them on a goodwill basis and are receiving no extra favour or benefits as a result. While effusive gratitude is not obligatory, churlishness will not be tolerated - anyone clearly ruining the goodwill and goodvibes for everyone else will be stamped upon without mercy. We reserve the right to cancel the entry of anyone behaving in such a manner - because it's stupid!
All prizes are subject to availability and must be taken by the end of the 2014/2015 season unless otherwise specified. |

Jaw-droppingly incredible, and mind-blowingly phenomenal.

Wow. If I'm lucky enough to win something, I'm not going to be so daft as to give it back this time. Some years on, I could really do with that boot bag, as my current one is now falling to bits (not too surprising given it's about 40 years old).
