Winner Comments
"Is this for real? I received a letter and a check from you today. Is it really a prize, with no strings attached? "

"I am still in shock for receiving the free skis and bindings! Even though I read the winner comments after I received the email notification, I was still skeptical. They were delivered by FedEx this morning, and I am still smiling from ear to ear! I have been happy to participate with the surveys, because I am active in many different sports, but this is truly icing on the cake. I have passed the link to MAAP onto several of my active friends as well."

"Hello. I just received the check yesterday. Thanks for being one of the few honest survey givers on the net. Feel free to send more surveys. Thanks a lot!"

"Thank you so much for the check. I just finished your survey on the Scuba Game. I take many different surveys and have experienced technical problems with a lot of them; yours was easy and fun. Keep up the good surveys."

"Thank you so much for the cash prize! What a treat."

"For all the time I spend at Mountain Creek, it's fun to have won something!!! The team, of which my son is on, has been known to 'sleep out' in their uniforms in the snow as a bonding thing...he'll love the new bag!!!"

"I really appreciate the prize [skis]. It's pretty cool to win stuff. I hope my surveys are useful. I have friends in the outdoor industry and almost was in it myself. I own and use a wide array of gear and have a lot of opinions on what I like and don't like, and often wonder who made some of the decisions that resulted in some of the colors or designs of products. So keep on sending me surveys and I 'll give you my honest opinions. Thanks again!"

"Getting a prize is really great, but I do the surveys to give you accurate real world info. Hoping it will benefit you and the industry, after all if the information is good the resulting products will be good, ask me anytime and thank you very much for the gift."

"Boy, was I pleased to receive this gift [water filter] from you folks. Again a great prize as well as a complete surprise."

"Thank you for the Water Filter which I won in the drawing. It arrived today and I thank you very much, it is so nice to finally win something, I answer surveys all the time and they offer entries into their sweepstakes and drawings but this is the first time that I actually have gotten something for my efforts. Please do not hesitate to ask for my opinions any time you need them. Again thank you so very much and I look forward to completing more surveys for you in the future."

"Thanks so much for the Strider! I will put it to good use!"

"I received my CamelBak water bottle in the mail yesterday, and I love it! Thank you so much!"

"Received your letter and the prize. The bottle is very nice and it will be very useful for my next adventure programme in the Indian Himalayas."

"I received my water bottle today for completing your Apparel Study. Thank you so much. I love it, as does my 2.5 year old son. "

"My family and I just got back from the Hawaii vacation that we won with Leisure Trends Group, and I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I both agree that it was the best family vacation we've had. Great place to stay at (Kolea on the Big Island) and everything was as good as we could have imagined, even better. Just wanted to say thanks again."

"I am in receipt of my wonderful Sierra Designs E-Z Pillow as a prizewinner in the Holiday Wish List Survey. Thanks! I’ve rolled up whatever extra clothing or whatever to serve as a pillow on past outings so this will be a pleasant luxury. Keep working on those products to make the outdoors more accessible and enjoyable. "

"Thanks so much for the sleeping bag compression sack prize. Love it, love it, love it! "
