"FREE SKIS FOR LIFE" Promo from Mike Thomas on Vimeo.


The ultimate prize in skiing has arrived. Seth Morrison will give one skier the gift that keeps on giving. That winner will never have to beg, borrow or steal for their new boards again. Say it to yourself: "Free skis...for life."

This January, Seth will escort five winning golden ticket holders through the K2 factory to determine who is ultimately worthy of this grand prize. "This is your chance to live like a pro," quips Mr. Morrison.

"Seth came to us with an idea that would bring some fans up to the K2 headquarters, sort of like Willy Wonka style, for a grand prize of some sort," says K2 Marketing Director, Mike Gutt. "Free Skis For Life seemed pretty much like the ultimate prize from our perspective. So we went for it."

Looks like you can mail away to receive one of the scratch tickets:

Participants can also receive a scratch ticket (while supplies last) with the chance to win prizes including a First Prize Ticket by writing in. Entries need to include the name, address, phone number and age of the entrant, as well as a request for a scratch ticket. The entry needs to be mailed to:
Attn: Free Skis for Life Registration
K2Skis 4201 6th Ave S 
Seattle, WA 98108 
Entrants must be postmarked no later than December 31, 2009, and must be received by January 14, 2010. Sponsors are not responsible for lost, stolen or invalid entries.

There will be 4 tickets given away via ski purchases and/or via mail-ins.

Also, starting Nov 1, you will be able to enter online. One ticket winner will be selected from the online entrants.

All this stuff from the official rules.

Its for the people that actually are gonna buy the skiis cause they need em, thats like when you go through your store and you see liken 5 coca colas for 5 dollars, not that you actually just jump on them, but IF youre having a party and happen to come over this deal, youre a lucky bastard. So if I was thinking of buying new K2's and I go to a ski store, happen to find out that I can win free skis for life. Its just a little extra for the actual buyers, so dont go buy skiis cause you will probably come over a failure ticket, unless you have millions of dollars. THANKS
