Ski in, zip line out

• Please do not apply if you are scared of heights.
• Only pros are allowed to use the ski jump so don't think you're going to be pulling any tricks on your toboggan.
• Spandex outfits are encouraged, but not mandatory.
• No smoking. Top athletes have to breathe this air too.
• We’ll provide all the food and drink you need, so leave the thermos and sandwiches at home.
• Although the Olympics saw 120,000 people packed in and around the jump, only 1 additional guest is allowed in the apartment.
• The stay will not be commentated on, and no style-points will be issued.
• There are no neighbors. So if you feel like walking around in your tighty whities, be our guests.

By entering the Contest, participants agree that they may be contacted by Airbnb in relation to the Contest and agree to take part in any publicity that occurs as a result of the Contest and grant Airbnb and their agents the right to use their name and/or image.

Eligibility. The Contest is not open to residents from: North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Indonesia. This means that you are not allowed to participate if you reside in one of these jurisdictions. The Contest is for residents of all other countries of the world and by entering participants agree that the individual winners will be selected from all entries received from these countries. Directors, officers, employees, independent contractors and agents of Partner and Airbnb, or their subsidiaries or affiliates, and the members of their immediate families or households, are not eligible.

Winner Selection. Two participants will be selected from the Submissions and will be nominated winners and best story writers of the Contest. The winners will be chosen entirely on merit, based on two judging criteria applied by a panel of judges at the following weight:

70% - Originality and creativity of the submitted story. Does it surprise and delight us?
30% - Spirit of the submission. How does your submission relate to Holmenkollen?

The panel of judges will be comprised of members of the marketing teams of Airbnb and Partner, and one independent judge. The judges’ decisions are final and binding. If substantially similar Submissions are submitted by different entrants, judges will select only the best version of that idea, as determined by the judges in their sole discretion.

Prohibited Content.

Miscellaneous. The Contest is void where prohibited.

If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Sponsors may suspend, modify or terminate the Contest if they believe, in their sole discretion, that malfunction, error, disruption or damage is impairing or will impair the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Contest, in which case the prizes will be awarded among the eligible entries received that were unaffected by the problem, if possible. With reference to the Italian participants please note that this Contest does not constitute a “Manifestazione a Premio” under the provisions of D.P.R. 430/2001 because winners are selected and prizes are assigned to them on the basis of their personal writing talent and consequently the exception described under Article 6, par. 1, letter a) of the above mentioned decree shall apply.
