We launched our Sponsor Me! video section last year in an effort to help aspiring pro skiers get noticed. Team Managers often peruse this section, looking for the next big talent.

This month, we teamed up with Mountain Hardwear to stoke out one Sponsor Me! video uploader. Mountain Hardwear put together a prize pack worth well over $1,000, which will be awarded to the best video tagged "Mountain Hardwear Contest" between now and December 15, 2011.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

1. Upload your video here.
2. Make sure you check the "Sponsor Me!" box.
3. Tag your video with "Mountain Hardwear Contest." You can tag with other items as well, but this is how you enter the contest.
4. Make sure you check out Mountain Hardwear's amazing new technology, Dry.Q.

NOTE: You don't have to upload a NEW video to enter. If you've already uploaded a video to the Sponsor Me! section, just tag it Mountain Hardwear Contest and you're entered.

HERE'S WHAT ONE WINNER WILL RECEIVE:

Fall 11 Snowtastic Jacket – $450
Fall 11 Snowtastic Pant – $300
Integral Baselayer Merino/Synthetic Blend Top – $75
Integral Baselayer Merino/Synthetic Blend Bottom – $60
Typhoon Gloves – $140

Total Value: $1215

JUDGING:

The staff at Freeskier and Mountain Hardwear will go through all the entries and pick our favorite video. Videos will be rated on overall impression, and includes technical ability, style, professionalism and quality of edit.

The best video will win the prize pack. Please note that this is not a sponsorship, but a one-time prize for the best video.
