Utah ski resort offers dream job

Utah ski resort The Canyons is giving someone the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to ski all season long, and get paid for it in the process. In return, all you have to do is hit the slopes on a daily basis, blog about the experience a few times a week and attend special events at the resort.

Applications are being accepted for the Ultimate Mountain Gig and all you have to do to apply for the job is tell the resort "how you mountain," that is to say, how you embrace the skiing lifestyle and can inspire others to do the same. To enter you'll need to submit a 2-minute long video and a written report explaining how you'll approach the job. You'll also have to be 21-years of age or older, and eligible to work in the U.S. All the details can be found by clicking here.

The lucky person who is given the job will receive a full season pass to the Canyons, suite lodging for the entire season at the Waldorf Astoria, and a $40,000 salary for four months of work. They'll also get a camera, video camera, and laptop to assist in their day to day duties, a complete set of ski or snowboard gear, access to the spa, ski school and avalanche rescue training, and VIP credentials to all of the resorts events, amongst other things.

The job begins on January 1 of 2011, so get your resume together, and start packing for Utah.
