COVER CONTEST - PICTURES WANTED! 
We're starting to plan next year's Northwest Skiers' Directory, and are now accepting submissions for the annual cover contest sponsored by Mt. Hood Meadows, and for pictures for the interior of the Directory.  The winner of the cover contest receives a 10-time punch pass for Mt. Hood Meadows, valued at $325!  Digital pictures may be e-mailed to Leslie Baird, our graphic designer, at leslie@....  Pictures for the cover contest should be in vertical format that Leslie can crop to 4"x9", and should be as high resolution as possible (the more pixels, the better!).  Please be sure
to provide your name, address, and telephone number so Leslie can get in touch with you with any questions.   Credit will be given to the photographer for all pictures used in the interior of the Directory, but no monetary compensation is paid.  Photos of skiing or snowboarding, of club activities, or anything related to the mountains will be considered.   Don't have a digital camera yet?  Arrangements can be made with Leslie to mail her photographs which she will scan; call her at 503-245-4368. 

Thanks!!
