SPRING BREAK 2013 ALERT - A lucky family - the Nuemeyers - are heading to Big White for a fantastic spring break getaway! Congratulations!

Imagine... knee deep in champagne powder while the sun shines overhead. Or, languishing in bed while the kids are having a ball on the slopes. All is possible because at Big White Ski Resort, the powder is deep, the slopes are wide and open, and if you've got family, the Big White Ski School team even picks up the kids so you can relax!

This magical getaway - compliments of our wonderful friends at Big White Ski Resort - includes a condominium for a family of four (two adults, two children - if there's 3 kids, yes, you can bring all of them!), three days of lift tickets, lessons and equipment rentals for everyone. Also, snowshoeing, tubing and roasting marshmallows under the stars. This is more fun than you could ever imagine in a winter wonderland located just outside of Kelowna, BC.

To enter fill out the contest entry here.

Winner will be chosen on Saturday, March 2, 2013 to travel this coming spring break in British Columbia. Reservations made in advance directly with Big White. Does not include transportation, meals, taxes or gratuities.

Good luck one and all!
