The Winners
Video Contest Winner - Streaked Wall Zion National Park
Nate Brown of Wilson, Wyo., calls himself an "all-around fun hog." But it also takes discipline and talent to climb Streaked Wall at Zion National Park. Add it up and he's our third winner in the Outdoor Adventure Video Contest.
Video Contest Winner - Revelstoke, British Columbia
Andrew Emmerson and some friends became the fourth winners in Swany's Outdoor Adventure Video Contest by tearing it up in Revelstoke, British Columbia. Watch them explore the backcountry bowls (North Bowl, South Bowl, Montana Bowl and Kokanee Bowl) and cat skiing areas. They're not afraid to fall, these guys!
Video Contest Winner - MMSC Freestyle Team: First Trick Rail Jam!
Paolo Rossi and Sam Rogers of Huntington, Vt., are the fifth winners in Swany's Outdoor Adventure Video Contest for this fun video of the First Trick Rail Jam at Stowe Mountain in December. Watch 'em go!
Video Contest Winner -Snowboarding at Ruby Hill (HD)
Peter Batty is proof you can have an outdoor adventure in the heart of the city in this video, the sixth winner in the Swany Outdoor Adventure Video Contest, which shows Peter and his family tearing it up at Ruby Hill Rail Yard in the heart of Denver

Video Contest Winner - Zach Rickenbach at Squaw Valley
This entertaining video from Zach Rickenbach shows that sometimes all it takes is a little powder to make a great video. Zach and a friend took advantage of some early season powder at Squaw Valley to tear it up, while dodging a variety of boulders. Big fun, and the seventh winner in the Swany Gloves Outdoor Adventure Video Contest.
Video Contest Winner - Ski Philly
Here's proof the recent East Coast snowstorms were a good thing. Jake Krolick of Philadelphia saw more than a lot of shoveling, he saw an opportunity. "Ski Philly" is a funny video that finds him skiing the local landmark made famous in "Rocky." Jake's the eighth winner in the Swany Gloves Outdoor Adventure Video Contest. And as a monthly winner, he'll get a helmet cam.
