Los Angelista Giveaway: We Ski & Snowboard for Nintendo Wii

I know many of you living here in the States are getting pounded today with crazy amounts of snow. That's NOT the case here in Los Angeles!

Don't ask me why, but the snow just never seems to want to come down out of the mountains and make friends with our palm trees!

I still sympathize with you though because I grew up in the Midwest. I may not be digging out from the umpteenth blizzard of the winter season these days, but all this snow means it's perfect timing for my latest giveaway: Two copies* of Namco Bandai's We Ski & Snowboard for Nintendo Wii!

Maybe you're too broke to rent skis, buy lift tickets or get that cute snow bunny ski jacket. Yeah, me too! These days I'm all about finding free and low-cost ways to entertain myself and my family.

Well, instead of driving two hours to spend mucho dinero on hot chocolate at the ski resort, all I need to do is whip out my Wii Balance Board and make my own cocoa in my kitchen. And instead of falling on my butt over and over in the snow, all I have to do is step on the board. That's good for me because I've never ever been skiing in my entire life and I would probably spend the entire time wiping out.

Oh another nice thing? There is no worrying that my kids are gonna knock their teeth out or break a leg while trying to do back flips on a snowboard. All they have to do is maneuver on that Balance Board.

What, you think it sounds like I'm depriving my kids and myself of the opportunity of sliding down the side of a real mountain? Trust me, one of these days we'll take the drive out to Big Bear or Mammoth Mountain and spend the ducats to do the whole ski chalet thing. But that day won't be today, so in the meantime we'll just practice our skiing skills with We Ski & Snowboard.

So how can you win?
1) Be a resident of the continental United States.
2) Leave me a comment on this post before 11:59 PM on Thursday, March 5, 2009. You don't have to tell me anything special, like describing how badly you want skier thighs too. Nope, just say whatever like, "Los Angelista, you're SO awesome, I'm gonna buy you Depeche Mode tickets to the Vegas show!"

You want extra entries? Here's how to get them:
1) Link to this contest on your blog and come back and let me know in the comments that you did.
2) Twitter this contest and come back and let me know in the comments that you did.

Good luck!

*Two copies means two winners, not two copies of the game for one winner!
