Salt Lake City, UT – Ski Utah has launched a search for the newest addition to the Ski Utah Blog team – the Park Rat.

As part of the blog team, the Park Rat will be awarded a Ski Utah Silver Pass, a $2,500 value, which enables them to jib, jump and ride 30 days at all 14 Utah ski and snowboard resorts. In exchange for the coveted Silver Pass, the Park Rat will be required to contribute one blog post per week October 15, 2011 through 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 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 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 Ski Utah Blog team is currently comprised of the state’s most knowledgeable and enthusiastic snowsports bloggers. The Park Rat will join Ultimate Powderhounds, Baydala and Catherine Killfoil, as well as Thomas Cooke, Jodi Saeland and the Ski Utah Yeti as they dish readers the inside scoop on skiing and riding Utah.
