[quote=Anonymous]I went to college in a town where it was extremely common for ski bums to panhandle for bus money while wearing $300 jackets and in the company of a well cared for dog (always wearing a bandana) and often lugging around a thousand dollars worth of skiing or snowboarding gear. It was a bit of a joke in the town. They were just dudes from middle or upper middle class (or sometimes even wealthy) families who decided after college (or sometimes before finishing college) that what they really wanted to do was just ski and not much else. So they'd couch surf and sometimes pick up temp work at ski resorts and bum money from parents and friends so they could lead this somewhat useless, hedonistic existence. It should go without saying, but these guys were universally white. Oh, and I'm sure that often "bus money" was code for "weed money." Anyway, never gave them a dime. Get a job, you bum![/quote]
