Hey Winter Sports fans! Starting this weekend and continuing through March 31, 2012, we will be at 3 different U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding events bringing you access to top athletes like Emily Cook, Nate Holland and Steven Nyman, plus a chance to win tickets on Delta!
So how does it work?
During the allotted dates below, tweet a question to @Delta that you want one of our allotted athletes to answer. Put your thinking caps on and be creative with your questions, because the only the best tweets will get face time with the athletes and the competition will be tough!
As an added bonus, everyone who submits a question will be entered into a drawing and one lucky winner will be chosen at random to win two tickets to anywhere in the continental U.S. and Canada that Delta flies!
Here’s how to enter:
- Follow @Delta on Twitter
- Tweet to @Delta and include the Twitter handle for the athlete you want to answer your question (this weekend its @BelieveInSteven)
- Include #usskiteam in your tweet (that’s your form of entry)
- Stay tuned as we’ll announce the winner in April once all 3 events are complete
