Sports / At Large Winter-Funtimes Getaway in Vancouver, B.C.: The Winner

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 7:04 PM

That's Norm in the bottom left corner.

Remember how our friends in B.C., gave Slog some winter-funtimes to give away—a two-night stay at Vancouver, B.C.'s posh Shangri-La Hotel PLUS winter-funtimes at the City & Slope festival, which runs February 9-12?

Remember how Dan Savage wanted to see your "gear" (clearly hoping for NSFW entries)?

Only one person was capable of following the (rather simple!) instructions for entering—a photo of you, your gear, a copy of The Stranger—so we have a winner: Larry, who says, "Norm the gnome and I would like to go." Congratulations, Larry (and Norm).

Thanks Stephster! Isn't Norm a hunk?

Next time I'm entering.

Grats on the tix win!

If there's a more obnoxious slang abbreviation than "grats" I can't imagine what it is. "Tix" maybe.

You got ONE entry? I should have dug out a photo of me from 35 years ago (the last time I skied) and photoshopped in the cover.

Bad ass.

Larry looks fully prepared for a rockin' good time. Have fun, Larry! Norm, however, could probably use a parka.

Well, since I'm straight, I'm glad I didn't see any Norm dicks.

And he's packing a flask - he deserves to win!

@3: We got one entry that followed the directions—others didn't have the paper/were clearly old. Weird, I know. I'm resisting drawing any generalizations about those who enjoy snow sports.
