Bid on Skis Signed by Gold Medal Winner Lindsey Vonn!

From The Ellen Degeneres Show:


To celebrate Lindsey Vonn's gold medal win, Ellen gave her skis from Head.com and poles from Leki.com, customized for Ellen's Quest for World Domination.

Lindsey then decided to do a good deed by donating them to help raise funds for Haiti. She autographed the skis and poles, and now Ellen is putting them up for auction on eBay! You can win these one-of-a-kind skis signed by an Olympic gold medalist, and help relief efforts in Haiti at the same time -- so start bidding!

100% of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund.  

The current bid is $1,575.  Bidding closes on March 09, 2010 12:12:39 (PST)

ATTENTION BIDDERS:

The skis are actually Head Supershape Speeds. The binding is a Head Freeflex 15.

The skis were made in the USA. The bindings were made in Europe.

Ski today and help Haiti 

"Several ski areas across the country are conducting charitable efforts during the Martin Luther King Jr., holiday weekend in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake. The major disaster in Haiti on Tuesday has spurred an international relief effort for the impoverished island nation. On one of the busiest weekends of the season, the ski industry has an opportunity to add to the outpouring of support.
In many cases, ski resorts are giving a portion of lift-ticket sales to the cause." Eric Wagnon
