We have a winner! Matt Eder of Portland, Ore., has been drawn from among the thousands who signed up for the Gear Junkie’s Choose-Your-Adventure Sweepstakes. Eder, a 37-year-old sales rep and devoted Mount Hood skier, picked REI Adventures’ Sequoia Winter Mountaineering Clinic as his trip. This three-day adventure includes courses on winter camping, backcountry skiing and mountaineering in the peaks of California’s Sequoia National Park.

For 2009, GearJunkie.com is planning at least one more trip giveaway sweepstakes. Stayed tuned for details, and monitor the Daily Dose blog this winter for full coverage of the Choose-Your-Adventure Sweepstakes trip in Sequoia National Park.
