Dear fellow Jackson Hole lovers, I need to win this prize package. I am a 24 year old weekend warrior who sits at a desk – dreaming about the mountains. I’ve been to Jackson three times with Colorado State’s Snowriders, and had a hell of a time: year one, 4 ½’; year two, 4’; and year three, 4’. I would love to ski the steep and deep of Jackson again this year. Pick me!

Yes indeed, I am an Iowa resident. I am lucky if I get ten to 11 days of mountain riding in a year. By far those are the best days of the year though. When it snows at home we have to make do with building a kicker using my buddies bobcat. Quite a good time actually, if you want some Sioux City backcountry action just try the giant snow piles created by snow removal off the mall parking lot(make sure not to land in the Red Lobster parking lot though!) I have made it to Jackson Hole once loved every turn. Just my dad and I; we make one trip a year and you can't really put a price on it. He is a UPS driver and has taken me on a ski trip every year since I was two. I am 19 now and still can't wait for the trip... The Midwest is flat and it seems I have an obsession for verticle, a bit of a paradox huh? Anyway Live now, Pay Later...

Hey, I live in Maine. I would love to go to Jackson. It is a dream to ski powder. Skiing is the best thing anyone could ever do. I love skiing.

I'm an east coast skiier born and bred in the white mountains of new hampshire. the only powder i get, i have to hike up to the snowfields of mount washington before the wind blows it off. Its not that i don't like ice - with sharp enough skis, it has its own appeal. But four feet of powder below and big blue Wyoming sky above must be the tits. Jackson Hole sounds like some sort of paradise, especially to an east coaster. If sent, I would bring my buddy Isaak who was a liftie at Vail and who has been a ski bum since we left high school two years ago. together we went through all the phases: grew up racing, became park rats, then backcountry and urban, now anything and everything big, fast, and fun. Send us to Jackson Hole and we will build a giant out of bounds kicker, film it, and post it on the powder website.

I'm a 28 year old skier from Northern Michigan. I've only been able to take one trip out west to ski, and its time for another. My girlfriend ski patrols here in Michigan as well and she has never skied out west. I would love to explore the greatest big mountain resort in the states with her. I would also love my chance to make an impression on the jackson hole air force. And represent for all the hard charging Michigan skiers out there.

I see another non-employed guy comments and he would get my vote…if I were not a competitor. So here I go... I am 51 (hah!) and have no real job now. I have less money than ever and love skiing like my right hand (which is useful in many ways). My wife would love to have me win. I would be out of her way for a while and not have to listen to me mope around because I am not skiing, particularly in Jackson. I have been going to Jackson since 1983...and an opportunity to go again, awesome. I have to reveal that I have not jumped into Corbett's ...if I win; (with guidance) I will do the jump. My son did this in our last trip and his old man is acting like an old man. In addition, can I stay at the Hostel if I win? Last thought...my favorite run HOBACKS ! North particularly.

Living in the great Northwoods of Wisconsin but we do not have great MOUNTAIN skiing. Love to bring my son out for real mountain skiing. Only been to Jackson Hole once and that was this summer to ride the new Tram and dream of real POW!! I have no words of wisdom or why I should be the one to win, but I would not disappoint Jackson Hole as the prize winner. As Warren would say, "If you don't do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do."

Pick me! I'm an unemployed (for the winter)27yr old wildland fire fighter looking for a cheap ski trip so I can save money for a new baby girl in March! Or the Shoguns would be a sweet replacement for my claped out 1080's. I mean come on who else still rocks those. Even the Cloudveil pants to replace my ductaped junk would be sweet.

I went to college in Nashville, Tennessee because my parents wouldn't let me go anywhere near a ski mountain. I took a year off before college and lived in my mom's minivan in Colorado for the season. I have been in Tennessee ever since for school and then for work. I'm now unemployed and miss skiing more than you know. PLEASE SEND ME TO JACKSON, I have never been there in the winter.

I work in an office now, but used to do bend and lift work in a lab at Dupont. Like The character in the Truman Show(who dreams about Fiji), I dream about vacationing and skiing at Jackson Hole Wyoming. And I want to take my dad along, as he has helped me with many tough choices I had to make in life. I love snow and skiing on the slopes and taking a break away from work.
