7 Reasons to Quit Your Job & Become A Ski Bum: Ok, so maybe I’m longing for winter a little. First, it’s been hot here. So hot, in fact, that much of the province is under an extreme fire danger rating. Second, all I seem to see on social media these days are reports and videos of people shredding never ending deep pow in South America and New Zealand. So I’m in the mood to ski. That deep seated, powder addiction has crept back to the surface of my consciousness. Because of that, I thought I would feed that fire a little for anyone contemplating a life in the mountains, away from their office job, where they can ski every day.

Sounds Good Video We came across this video from Last Frontier Heliskiing this week and we thought it was kinda cool. It’s all the sounds of a heliski operation edited together into a sort of ski/music piece. Sounds good to us. Heliskiing always goes down smooth, especially somewhere in Northern BC.

Why We Ski The other day my son asked me about skiing. No stranger to the endeavor himself, he asked me why I like to ski. Big question. At first, I was hard pressed to answer. I spent a few moments letting my mind wander and tried to come up with an answer a six year old would understand. I went from thinking about big explanations of the mountain lifestyle and being free and a whole host of other things and finally, as his patience was wearing a little thin, I simply said, “I ski because it’s fun.” And that’s really it, isn’t it? We skibecause it’s fun. Pure and simple. […] Featured Article D’Arcy McLeish | November 6, 2013 1 Comment
