Who has left home to become a snowboard bum? - Snowboarding Forum

I'm seriously thinking about ditching my job and moving to Breck. Has anyone done this? How did it work out? Advice? Horrors?

You will stay where? Your money is coming from where?

I say go for it. Although I dident live at Breck I lived at Big White in Kelowna BC for 5 years.
I was lucky enough to meet some people at my job who went up there every year so I had a bit of an in.
I cooked, washed dished and even did housekeeping to make money. Living conditions sucked, it's a matter of affordability so expect so share a place with a heap of people. I had a dude living in my closet, guess it sucked more for him but I could hear him beating off sometimes...Partying can be fun and be a problem at the same time, every one is there for a good time, so expect a lot of hungover days at work.
But riding as soon as you step out your door is so worth it. I could easily do it all again.

What do you call a snowboarder without a girlfriend?
HOMELESS

Get a janitor or kitchen job. So you can RIDE!

And who are you, his guardian fucking angel? Oh, I'm sorry, you must be the guy who's going to give him his paycheck, cook his meals, and clean his bedsheets for boarding all day long. Silly me.
