2025 Dream Trip Raffle to Chile and Northern Patagonia

The arrival of Stick Season here in Vermont means one thing: We’re back again for our sixth year with our annual Trip Raffle, one of our most important fundraisers of the year. For 2025, we’re stoked to send you and a friend the trip of a lifetime, thanks to H+I Adventures, to CHILE!

The Winner will join H+I Adventures for a curated 8-day, 7-night intermediate+ mountain biking excursion, where you’ll experience a taste of every landscape — from volcanic runouts to monkey puzzle forests and epic waterfalls — all from two wheels. Even better, as our days get shorter and colder, the southern hemisphere is just hitting its summer stride – making Chile the perfect Stick Season getaway.

We’re covering airfare and luggage, and H+I Adventures is covering the rest* – a trip worth over $11,000. Your only concern will be who you want to take with you!

The winner will receive a trip package for two worth over $11,000 that includes:

Round trip, coach class airfare voucher from any airport in the United States plus baggage fees (which means anyone from across the country can win!), up to $1600.

All expenses paid tour from H+I Adventures for you and a friend, valued at over $9500.

Carbon Offset Credits to ensure you can travel mindfully, valued at $140.00.

*Winner will be responsible for noted expenses that are not included in trip package including but not limited to alcoholic drinks and incidentals. The itinerary is subject to change at our discretion.

The winner will have until Dec 31, 2026 to redeem the trip.

Entries are available for purchase from Nov 1, 12:01AM – Dec 15, 5PM EST

Winner is announced Dec 15, 6pm EST

We envision a future where mountain biking is at the center of healthy, economically vibrant, and environmentally sustainable communities throughout Vermont, with well-planned, accessible, and progressive trail systems statewide. We have established a pace of mountain bike advocacy on behalf of our Chapters and every rider enjoying Vermont trails to match the massive growth of our sport in Vermont. We look towards the future to implement our key goals surrounding:

• Sustainable stewardship of our well-planned and progressive statewide network of trails
• Advocacy initiatives focused on an appropriate oversight model for Act 250 and outdoor recreation into Current Use
• An informed ridership that knows where, when, and how to ride and the value of being a VMBA Member
• Increase of the representation of youth, women, and BIPOC in our mountain bike community
• A sustainable organization that attracts talent & develops our Chapters

Your Trip Raffle tickets will help us work towards these goals in 2025 and beyond. We direct 90% of your Membership dollars to Chapters and rely on these Raffles to help the growth of our organization and ensure there is a foundation for the Chapters to rely on. Your support matters.

Entries are available for purchase from Nov 1, 12:01AM – Dec 15, 2025, 5PM EST
