Choose Your Adventure Sweepstakes

The good folks over at the Gear Junkie have put together quite a contest, including a free trip and head to toe gear outfitting for the lucky winner.

From the website:

The sweepstakes will award a randomly-drawn winner their choice from one of five professionally-guided winter adventure-travel trips in early 2009.

To sign up, the web address is http://www.thegearjunkie.com/sweeps

In addition to airfare and the all-expenses paid trip, the winner will be outfitted head-to-toe with all the essential gear from REI, including backpacks, apparel and hardgoods like snowshoes and ice axes (depending on the adventure).

The winner and a travel companion will pick between one of five REI Adventures trips, including:

* Mount Washington Winter Climb
* Sequoia Winter Mountaineering Clinic
* Yosemite Snowshoe Trip
* Ice Climbing Basics in New Hampshire
* White Mountains Hut-to-Hut Snowshoe

After the adventure, a party sponsored by Lazyman will celebrate the weekend’s accomplishments with music, food and drinks – with participants having “earned their lazy.” Finally, participants will receive additional gear for the chosen adventure from Adventure Medical Kits, Bear Naked Trail Mix and Wigwam, co-sponsors of the sweepstakes.

All you have to do is head over and register, that’s it. No funny photos to submit or brain bending essays. Easy as pie. Good luck.
