BC's Powder Highway has launched its own Ultimate Ski Bum Contest. One lucky bum will win three months of free skiing at ski resorts, cat-ski and heli-ski operations along BC's Powder Highway, plus free hotel accommodation and the use of an SUV.

Beginning October 5 contestants can submit a 90 second video, explaining why they should be the Ultimate Ski Bum, and why they deserve to have their mind blown by one of the most incredible winter destinations on planet earth.

Videos will be accepted from October 5 to November 22, 2009 with the winner to be announced on December 1, 2009, as voted by video viewers and the Powder Highway Ski Resort judges.

“This place has long been a haven for ski bums from around the world. We’re sharing that adventure through the experiences of one person—the Ultimate Ski Bum. No agenda, no job, just snow, mountains and a road that links it all together,” explains Chris Andrews, Kootenay Rockies Tourism.
