 Ultimate Snowshoers Grand Prize
I'm sure that most of you know by now about the Ultimate Snowshoers Grand Prize draw that we are doing again this year at Whistler, but for those of you that don't we are giving away a draw prize to someone that is participating at the Whistler event that has a value of almost $2000. It is everything you need to get out and snowrun. For more information on this great prize click here. See what Heather Evans won last year (pictured to the right). The way it works is we take your bib number at the end of each race and use them for the draw prizes of that race. We have been saving them from every race to put into one box to draw at the end. If you have raced in 4 Yeti's then you have 4 chances to win, but you have to participate at the Whistler race and be at the awards/prizing to win.
