How much would YOU pay for the best ski trip of your winter/year/life?
Bid in our silent auction for the last Ski & Wine Week X Rise Festival spots
and you might be joining us on December 6th for a full week of skiing, dining, wining and partying in Les Deux Alpes, France.
Winner announced on Monday 1st December at 6pm.
Here’s the deal. Our first Ski & Wine Week of the winter, in conjunction with Rise Festival, is practically sold out. Pretty much. But we’ve still got a ticket or two that we don’t want to go to waste. A couple of beds. A few seats at the dinner table. Some lonely wine glasses to fill. So we figured, let’s do something fun.
All you have to do is tell us how much you’d pay for this trip, and if your bid is the highest then the trip is yours. Just fill out the form below and hope nobody bids higher than you*. Easy.
