the modern snowbum: who are we?
Walk in to any ski resort and you’re going to notice two types of people: Snow Bums, and everyone else. We are the Snow Bums and everything we do is skiing and snowboarding. We eat, breathe, sleep, and live for those days when we can call in sick just to go lap some runs in the powder. Never mind the long lines on the highway or risking life and limb driving in the worst weather imaginable – it’s all for the Snow Bum life.
Who, exactly, is a Snow Bum? We’re the elite few who prioritize skiing and boarding over all else. We’re totally dedicated to ripping lines on the mountain and we organize our lives around powder days, making enough money for a season pass, and meeting friends at the bar after a day of face shots. We spend the off season traveling in RVs, mountain biking the sandstone deserts, and fly fishing in Alaska. The true Snow Bum plays as hard in the summer as we do in the winter and we know life is measured by beautiful sunsets with great friends.
Snow Bums know that at the end of the day, skiers and boarders will hit the local watering hole on equal terms in search of a cold brew and the tales of the sickest line on the mountain. There was a dark time, however, when ski bums reigned supreme but that day is gone and we stand together now as Snow Bums one and all, ready to conquer the deepest pow! We’re a conglomerate of snow sports enthusiasts of all ability levels, from beginners to seasoned experts.
We here at TheSnowBum.com understand these instinctive, carnal desires to make the lift chair our office and the mountains our playground. We’re a team of passionate skiers and snowboarders dedicated to bringing you the best snow sports industry news, equipment, and articles. We love to run with the little guy and understand that innovation often starts with local manufacturers. That’s why we strive to bring small ski and board makers into the limelight.
Whether you’re living in a multi-million-dollar ski in, ski out property at the poshest resort around or bussing tables in a dirty bar just to get paid in ski tickets – we’re writing articles for you! Snow Bums come in all varieties and our mission is to creating the most engaging and unique skiing and snowboarding content on the web. Our objective is to become a central hub for Snow Bums to share their love of fresh snow, good turns, and great friends.
You can expect the team at TheSnowBum.com to deliver you only the best deals, new products, and most helpful reviews. To top it all off, when you’re enjoying those warm days of summer, we’ll be right there with you working to incorporate the best off-season articles about hiking, biking, and traveling – all of the great adventure activities we know you love as much as we do.
So, raise a tall cold one and sit down beside us while we share this awesome journey to becoming one of the leading ski and snowboard resources available to the modern mountain-lover.
