January 20, 2011 (Toronto, ON) –  The 3rd annual SkiTrax Fantasy FIS Tour de Ski 2010/11 Contest was a huge success with over 300 teams from 21 countries and we’re pleased to announce the final contest winners following the one-week Doping De-points waiting period. Team jbskiin sewed up the victory to win the grand prize, a Rossignol package valued at $1,620 scoring 1,028 points with a 35-point margin over second place shared by seventeen (17) teams all tied with 993 points. The maximum points for the contest was 1,044.As all 17 teams had identical team members the tie-breaker came down to who was fastest to register their team, with xium coming out on top to win the second place prize, a Mont Ste-Anne lodging and ski package valued at $800. The next-fastest registrant was bondin, who took home the third place prize, a pair of Atomic WCup Classic boots valued at $370.
