Summer may have just ended, but with cooler temperatures and snow falling in the Sierra Nevada over the weekend, some winter sports enthusiasts may be turning their thoughts to hitting the slopes again.

Well, there might be a dream job just waiting for you. Ski.com, the largest provider of ski vacations in North America, is offering a chance to get paid to travel to one of the world's top ski destinations.
