Replying to Any suggestions for ways to land a job at a ski company?

Prob gonna get alot of shit for this from some ignorant ppl, but its that point in my life where a career is a must and low waged jobs are beat. Im just finishing up a marketing degree. Skiing is life and i know i will be happy with it forever. I would love to work at a company whether i start from the mail room, or land a job somehow, i know tht ide wake up a happy man every day working in this industry. So now i am in this bind. Should i write some letters attached to my resume and hope my 80 hour a week ford stamping plant job is a good enough referance? Im in this shit for life, cuz what could be better. Im sure to a certain extent u have to know the right people to get in. Rite now im livin it up in tahoe. Its easy to get stuck, but damn it would be a dream come true to work in this industry
