My advice on being a ski/outdoor "bum" is, if you are on the East coast stay there, it is cheaper and there would be less compitition than out West.
Mike, now that you have all the gear you need you have to think of saving money as buying time in the future to enjoy the things you love. It also will buy you freedom to make career or housing changes. Selling weed may be a good option for you to help achive what you want and you would be contributing to society.

Re: Ski Bum 101?
Hahaha... as much as I talk about it, I wouldn't sell weed, even if it were legal.
I think it should be legal, and I've used in the past, but it's not a part of society I want to contribute to anymore. I also know a fair deal of weed dealers, they 'work' a lot and don't really make much money. It's a labor of love I think.

Re: Ski Bum 101?
Mike, you really have to get your hands on "Wine, Woman, Warren and Skis"... There is some very good advice in there... The subtitle of the book really should be "Ski bum 101"... It's available for all our guests here at the Love Mansion...

But hey, I couldn't even get the internet or the guitar to work there, so what makes you think I'll learn anything from your fancy book?
Maybe I'm not smart enough to be a ski bum, maybe I'm destined for 9-5 cube world
