Want to write a blog about skiing and snowboarding in Utah and get a Ski Utah Silver Pass in return? Think you got the writing chops and motivation to shred your heart out at all 14 Utah ski resorts? Then you may be the guy or gal who deserves to be the new Ski Utah Park Rat Blogger.
According to Ski Utah, the Park Rat is part of the blog team, but this rat gets far more than just stale cheese. For the honor to pen killer blog posts and ski more days than most human legs can handle, the Park Rat will be awarded a Ski Utah Silver Pass valued at $2,500. With that kind of blig around your neck, you’ll get to ride 30 days at all 14 Utah resorts. In exchange for the coveted Silver Pass, the Park Rat will be required to contribute one blog post per week from October 15, 2011 – April 15, 2012. Entrants are required to fill out a short application and submit a 60 second video on why they should be selected as the Ultimate Park Rat.
“Being an Ultimate Powderhound is the best thing that has ever happened to me second to moving to Utah,” said Powderhound Matt Baydala, one of two winners of last year’s Ultimate Powderhound search. “Being part of the Ski Utah blog team is an incredible way to be a part of the Utah ski and snowboard industry.”
Ski Utah is looking for a Utah ski or snowboard enthusiast with a passion for The Greatest Snow on Earth® and the state’s incredible park and pipe terrain. Entrants should prove their ability to communicate their resort experiences through writing, video production and ability to engage a social media audience. The deadline to enter is September 5, 2011 at midnight MDT.
The Park Rat will join Ultimate Powderhounds Matt and Cat, Thomas Cooke, Jodi Saeland and the Ski Utah Yeti as they inform everyone on skiing and riding Utah. To view the blog visit www.skiutah.com/winter/blog/
