Not just another guessing game...Melt Down 09.

So here's the deal- we did this last year and a good time was had by all...

Really.

Until Jan 31st, 2009 at midnight, we'll accept your guesses as to when the last of the snow will have melted. Whoever is closest, will win an official HMR hat. I don't have a shot of this year's design yet, but I promise it will be cool and you'll be the very proud to own one.

The rules are simple: Send your guess to highmountainranch@gmail.com

If you've won something in 08 unfortunately you're not eligible to participate in 09. If you guess after the date of melt off, well its just like the Price Is Right. We consider that blowing past the target and it won't count toward the closest guess.

We'll keep track of the last patch of snow and post updates right here so you can have a rough idea of how you're doing.

Good luck!
