AND THE WINNERS ARE . . .
This was supposed to be fun. We held the 2009 SixStates.net New
England Ski and Snowboard Photo Contest with the idea it'd give skiers
and riders the chance to show off their skills and celebrate what they
love doing. For us, we'd enjoy checking out and publishing a bunch of
gnarly pics. And, when we were getting a boatload of killer photos, it
was fun. But then came decision time, and the fun stopped. Picking
winners from so many awesome photos was a painfully difficult process,
and one we kept putting off. (Which is why we're announcing the winners
near Memorial Day.) We've finally made our decision, and you can see the
winners below. Thanks so much to everyone who participated and helped
make our first photo contest such a success. And for those who think
they have the stuff to win this, stay tuned. We'll be announcing the
details of next year's Ski and Snowboard Photo Contest in just a few
months.
