How does an all-expenses paid trip to a world-class ski resort sound? Now add some extra cash on top. Intrigued?
For the second year in a row, ski.com (the largest provider of ski vacations in North America), is on the hunt for 12 lucky candidates to document what it’s like to explore six of the top ski destinations in the world. Starting today, you can apply to be sent to Aspen-Snowmass, CO; Jackson Hole, WY; Big Sky, MT; Banff and Lake Louise, Alberta; Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France, or Niseko United, Japan. You’ll fly United Airlines and spend 5-7 days as a VIP on the slopes decked out in gear from Stio, Black Crows, Giro, and GoPro, while receiving custom weather forecasts from OpenSnow. What’s more, you’ll also experience the best each resort has to offer off-mountain, from special meals to spa treatments. Last year’s winner went paragliding (with skis on!) directly onto a run. Though we can’t guarantee that’ll be on any of this year’s itineraries, you get the picture–it’s gonna be epic. And to top it all off, you’ll have a check for $2,000 to burn during your trip. The only requirements to apply? Advanced-intermediate skills on skis or a board–plus a love of travel, aprés, mingling with locals, and documenting the entire experience.
