Last season, Ski.com opened up its very first Dream Job search to the world. The reaction was wild.
Everyone from the CBS News to the Aspen Times covered the contest and after narrowing down some 1,200+ entries, the #ToTheMountains team selected blossoming videographer, Jackson Lebsack as its first hire. Over the course of two months last winter, Jackson traveled to some of the world’s most iconic ski destinations, all the while leaving a collection of drool-worthy social media posts in his wake.
This year, the process is about to become a whole lot more democratic.
Instead of just one hire, this year Ski.com is choosing 12 LUCKY INDIVIDUALS to explore 6 INCREDIBLE SKI RESORTS.
Dream Job Destinations: Aspen Snowmass, Jackson Hole, Banff’s SkiBig3, Big Sky, Niseko, and Chamonix
Why the format change you ask?
12 hires vs. 1
For one, we want more applicants to realize their dream of getting to ski one of the resorts in question. Last year the quality and quality of application videos (1,200+) made one thing clear: we needed to hire way more people. Secondly, we want to appeal to the community as a whole and realize that not everyone can quit their day job and go skiing for a month. So here we are: one week, one destination, and either an individual or team can apply.
