Dillon, Colorado. Three months of rent. Loads of ski gear. Lift tickets. Food and a temporary car. Oh, and airfare… all covered. Columbia is now accepting applications for its Ski Bum Scholarship; should you be the lucky winner, you’ll receive the abovementioned prize pack. And what true ski bum wouldn’t put off three months of his/her life in order to pursue a solid shreducation?

Applications (in the form of a video essay, to be uploaded to YouTube) are currently being accepted through December 8, 2012. A winner will be announced in mid-December.
