After an extended Christmas holiday, the Welove2ski Competitions Department is back in business! For our next trick - and in association with the generous people at online discount ski wear and ski gear retailer, Sports Outlet - we're offering you the chance to win a pair of 2009-10 Scott Mission 78 skis!
And if you entered between February 1 and 3, and had your email entry bounce back - then please re-enter now. We don't want anyone to miss out on the chance to ski the Missions.

The Scott Missions are all-conquering, all-mountain skis, and have a legion of fans, among them our very own ace snow blogger, Paddy O'Powder, who lives in the Italian resort of Courmayeur. In his opinion, the Mission is "one of the most versatile skis I've ever used...It's light, very hardwearing and can do just about everything well" (check out his review here). If you fancy getting your hands on a free pair (without bindings), then all you have to do is answer the question below correctly, and your name will be entered into our prize draw.
Answer our fiendishly difficult question, below, and you could be taking delivery of a brand-new pair of Missions.
Right, here's the question.
How long are a pair of Scott Mission 78s?
a. 178mm
b. 178cm
c. 178m
d. 178km
If you think you know the answer, email the answer to us at editor@welove2ski.com, marking your email "My mission: to win the Missions" and giving your name, address and contact phone number (and sorry if you're not a Brit - the competition is only open to UK residents). If you're right, your name will go into our prize draw. We're closing the book on entries at 5pm on Tuesday February 9, 2010, and will announce the winner on Thursday February 11, 2010. At that point, online retailer Sports Outlet will then send the winner a brand new pair of Scott Mission 78s - the lucky s*d!
