Congrats to Taylor from Colorado aka Taylor_mang on Instagram for winning the overall #SEASONISNEAR Contest. I saw the board got to his house yesterday and this morning he emailed me 2 photos of him with his new Machete 155. It was a tough choice choosing the winner to the contest with so many good photos in the running. Taylor’s photo below, impressed us with how hard he was working to shred the early season and with the beauty of the scenery in his shots. Once again congrats Taylor and to everyone who participated.

As you probably know Mount Baker opened November 21st and thus marks the end of the #SEASONISNEAR contest and the start of the real season. Here’s hoping your local mountain is already open or at least opening soon.

Hey guys, we’re back in week 5 to give another hat to another Instagramer. No runners up this week, after all they didn’t get a prize anyway so it was confusing. Winner take all and that winner will be entered to win a Machete when Mt. Baker opens. Now let us take a look at the photos, time to weed through all the last years photos and decipher when I think they were taken. They need to be taken of this season’s snowfall to win.

Congrats to Colin Gallant of Bowmanville, Ontario for winning week 5 of the the #Seasonisnear contest

Thanks Colin, look for this hat in your mailbox:
