DANA POINT, CA, JANUARY 25, 2007—On January 27, 2007, POWDER Magazine will host the ski industry’s most prestigious awards show: The 7th Annual Powder Poll and Video Awards presented by Jeep at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen, CO. This year will be different than the rest as the entire show will be webcast live from www.POWDERAwards.com for the first time ever.

Don’t miss this chance to see the world's best skiers, filmmakers and photographers converging in one room, on one night, to honor the best in the sport.

The show will once again be hosted by ski personality Chris “Uncle E” Ernst. Uncle E brings a breadth of knowledge for the athletes and the sport itself to the stage, making the POWDER Awards unlike any other awards show.

POWDER Magazine readers voted online for several weeks to determine the Reader Poll winners—the top 10 male and top five female skiers of 2006. Past Poll Awards winners include iconic professional skiers such as Seth Morrison, Shane McConkey, Ingrid Backstrom, and Sarah Burke.
