Light up the BBQ, grab some weiners and crack open the “sodas.” Arapahoe Basin, CO has taken out its imaginary oversized scissors to cut its imaginary ribbon to kickoff the 2014-15 North American ski season on Friday, October 17. In celebration of A-Basin spinning the lifts, FREESKIER is giving away 10-pairs of FREE tickets, so a crew of lucky winners can play hookie or skip work to attend the opening day par-tay.

In order to win, simply head to Twitter and prove to us why you deserve to win with either a photo or text by using the hashtag #COisOpen. Anything goes, peeps. No rules, no parents—get creative and show us why you want these tickets.

Winners will be selected by 4 p.m. MST and notified via Twitter. Good luck and happy opening day.
