ARE YOU THE ULTIMATE SKI BUM?
Saddleback Mountain, Gorham Bike & Ski and MPBN have teamed up to search for the ultimate MPBN Ski Bum. Once found, that individual will win a pretty cool ski package - a 2 night stay, (choose either weekend OR weekday) slope-side accommodations for up to 4 people and ski passes for you and three of your friends. To top it off, the winner will also receive a $250 Gift Card to Gorham Bike & Ski to help you get the right gear for the trip.  There are two ways to prove you have what it takes to be an MPBN Ski Bum. Each week in January a different quiz will be posted to determine whether you have the traits and inclinations to be an MPBN Ski Bum. All entries are tabulated and folks who answer the questions "correctly" will be entered into the drawing for the grand prize. To mix it up, we will also select weekly winners to receive two day passes to Saddleback Mountain. To get started, Click HERE.
