SkiNH announces Photo Contest

Grand prize winner receives VIP season pass valid to all Ski NH resorts

NORTH WOODSTOCK, NH, DECEMBER 2011 - Since the early days of skiing in New Hampshire, guests have used photography to help capture memories on the snow. With the arrival of high quality small cameras, beautiful images are no longer only produced by professional photographers. To help New Hampshire's skiers, riders and cross country skiers share these photos, Ski NH has announced a season-long photo contest.

Visitors to Ski NH's websites are invited to submit entries to any of six categories including downhill skiing and riding, cross country skiing, terrain parks, scenery, off the slopes and Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month. Photos must be taken in New Hampshire during the 2011/12 ski season; the contest ends on April 30, 2012. Entrants simply visit SkiNH.com or XCSkiNH.com to enter up to five entries for the 2011/12 ski season.

Guests to the site can also browse a gallery of other entries. At the end of the season a panel will select the winners in each category, along with a Grand Prize Winner who will receive a 2012/13 Ski NH VIP Season Pass valid at all member ski areas! Other prizes include Elan Skis, gear from The North Face, Bern Helmets, Dalbello Boots, Swix Wax and more.

"With most skiers and riders carrying nice cameras, plus the beautiful setting we have at our ski areas, we felt this contest would be a fun way for them to share their experiences with others who have the same passion for skiing and riding in New Hampshire," stated Karl Stone, Ski NH's Marketing Director.

For complete details, rules and to enter the contest or just browse photos, visit SkiNH.com or XCSkiNH.com.
