Win a Learn to Ski & Snowboard Trip to Wintergreen
The Commonwealth of Virginia has just announced the mother of all snow sports sweepstakes for moms and dads looking to share a love of the slopes with the kids. Starting today, families can go to www.Virginia.org/sweeps and enter to win the Virginia Snowmotion Sweepstakes. One lucky family will win a “Learn to Ski and Snowboard” trip to Virginia’s winter wonderland.
This prize trip includes a three-night, four-day stay at Wintergreen Resort for a family of four in a luxurious, two-bedroom condo. The family will spend their time at Wintergreen learning the ropes of the slopes with a free ski or snowboard lesson, as well as complimentary rental equipment and lift tickets for the entire stay. Add in a $200 gift card that can be used for dining at any of Wintergreen’s three restaurants, and it’s the perfect winter getaway. The trip prizewinner will receive round-trip airfare for four and a rental car to explore the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and nearby destinations in and around Wintergreen Resort.
The sweepstakes is open to U.S. residents 21 and over and runs through January 16, 2012 at www.Virginia.org/sweeps.
