one who works for low pay in exchange for benefits for example free skipasses or the coveted multi area season's pass as well as good deals on gear. as always the best things in life are free. this type usually supports itself in the off season by planting trees or other things sometimes in the bathroom/attic. occasionally these people will engage in activities to simulate skiing ie dragiing your buddy behind an f350 down a dirt road on 206 dynamic skis and a water ski rope
bill w. is such a ski bum he is a 32 year old ski tuner/"farmer" whose life consists of only two things skiing and waiting to go skiing.

A particularly fascinating breed of athletes. They speed the majority of the time freezing their asses off in especially cold weather in tight speed suits designed to make them faster, but may cause them to die of hypothermia. Those who are student athletes and attend academies often race and train non stop all winter and spend too much money on camps in the offseason. Academy kids are also used to spending days in crowded vans and living off gas station snacks or the occasional treat to gas station subway. It is difficult to score good points as the competition are often very close within the same seconds. The sport itself may be one of the most expensive and difficult sports out there, making the athletes even crazier for doing it. The parents who are willing to fund their athlete and stand in the cold temps to watch are their own breed. But in the end ski racers are badass, sick human beings so if you ever have the chance to meet one do not waste the opportunity you lucky son of a bitch.
Coach its ten below can we not go full strip?

Usually just called "poaching", ski poaching refers to skiing or riding in closed areas.
Although closed areas are usually closed for good reason (ie: avalanche risk, etc), they are also often closed because they are deemed too dangerous for tourists (read: lawsuit). However, locals often enjoy and know how to ride these areas "safely" and will do so regardless... hence poaching

Steven has ski mania because he was unwilling to slalom ski last night because "the lake wasn't like glass."
