Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

You don't need to be a local to win prizes like an adult season pass to Park City Mountain Resort, five one-day ski passes to Deer Valley Ski Resort, and 10 one-day ski passes to The Canyons Ski Resort. Help support the Park City Education Foundation and the Colby School by purchasing $10 raffle tickets. The random drawing will be broadcast live on Park City's radio station, KPCW, 91.9 FM, at 7:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 21, 2008. You need not to be present or listening to win.

Winners will be contacted by phone and/or email after the drawing. PCEF raises funds to support public education programs in the Park City School District with an emphasis on math, science, languages, and arts programs. Currently, one third of The Colby School's students receive scholarship support so that they may benefit from their humanities-based curriculum. To purchase your ticket, visit the Colby School Drawing Web site.

Be a frequent filler at any Utah Phillips 66 gas station this month and get yourself a 2 for 1 voucher to Snowbird. The voucher fills up with stamps after four tanks. Just take it to the ticket window for your half price ticket. There's no limit to how many you can earn but you can only use one per visit. If you don't have a partner to share it with, get in line and ask around. You can bet there will be takers. The voucher is good any day (including Thanksgiving weekend) until Dec. 25.

Put December 13 on your calendar if you're looking for new skis. The Canyons' Demo Day will feature new stuff from Atomic, K2, Nordica, Salomon, Rossignol, Roxy, Völkl and more. Try them free with a lift ticket. The demo will take place from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. at Red Pine Lodge. Call (435) 649-5400 for details.
