Jeep_® Brand Awards Grand Prize to Spokane Resident in the ‘Jeep Arctic Yeti Dig’ Contest Held at Winter X Games 2012

January 26, 2012 , Aspen, Colo. -  The Jeep® brand hosted the “Jeep Arctic Yeti Dig” at the Winter X Games 2012. 7 contestants had the chance to dig into a 20 by 20 section of snow on the grounds of the X Games to find a Jeep Yeti Artic Dig medallion. Kerry Boston from Spokane, Wash. was the first person to find the medallion and was named the grand prize winner of a new 2012 Jeep Wrangler Arctic Edition vehicle. It was broadcast at the games, garnering great excitement and anticipation.

“It was a tough dig but, I was determined to find that Jeep artifact so I could take home a new 2012 Jeep Wrangler Arctic Edition,” said Kerry Boston. “I am looking forward to seeing it in my drive-way very soon.”

The Jeep brand kicked off the “Jeep Arctic Yeti Dig” sweepstakes on the Jeep Facebook page (www.facebook.com/jeep), Twitter (www.twitter.com/Jeep) and blog (http://blog.jeep.com) sites. Six sweepstakes participants were randomly selected to attend the Winter X games and today all dug in a giant pile of snow to find a key Jeep brand artifact. The first to find it was the grand prize winner of an all-new 2012 Jeep Wrangler Arctic.
