The video winner in the category 'Experience The Mountain Parks Videos' was submitted by Liam Mullany, of Coquitlam, British Columbia. 
The text he sent us along is the following:"3 days, 2000 kilometres, no sleep. After spending years looking at my computer's desktop background of Moraine Lake, I decided to saddle up and make the trek, along with Patrick Hage-Moussa, from Vancouver to the Rockies to check it out first-hand.
The trip involved climbing one of the peaks overlooking Lake Louise, Mt. Fairview as well as a scenic drive home through Jasper on the Icefields Parkway."

Liam won a three-day (long) weekend experience for up to 20 guests (!!) on a houseboat, the Genesis 75 during peak season (yes we said 'peak season') of the summer 2013. This incredible prize, valued over $6000, is sponsored by Waterway.
2nd places in each category as well as runner-ups will be announced shortly, along with more prizes to be distributed!!
