Essentially America and Quiksilver Present:
TWO OF A KIND
Utah and Nevada are blessed with some of the most jaw-dropping natural elements you can find on the planet. Slot canyons, hot springs, hiking, biking, climbing, heli tours – and some of the most awe-inspiring snow experiences around.
And thanks to a partnership with Intrepid Travel, Ski Max and Quiksilver we are offering four of you a shot at seeing it all for yourself.
We have 2 trips for two available – one for summer, checking out deserts, mountains and forests via Intrepid Travel and another trip for two hitting some of the best snow in the USA via Ski Max.
To enter, tell us in 50 words or less via email about the spot you want to check out most in Utah and Nevada. We want to know your top spot in each state, and why.
If you take out top honors, you and a friend will dust off the passport and head to the US later this year, seeing it all first hand.
So prep your words – and get cracking. Hack together your entry and hit send!
