Where to be a ski bum?

Two years ago I lived in Mammoth Lakes for the winter. I'm thinking
about doing it again this year, but this time in Jackson Hole. Anyone
have any better ideas as to where to live this winter??
Please back up your answers as to why its' a better place than Jackson
Hole.

This last winter I went with a ski bum carpenter friend of mine to the
Hole for some skiing. He has lived in Summit county for 12-13 years
or so, and he knows many, many, ski bums that have passed through the
county over the years.

When we went to Jackson, and everywhere we went, he was saying hello
to all his old Summit County buddies. A lot of those that decided to
live the lifestyle beyond their early twenties, live in, near, or
around Jackson. We met up with this guy while on top of the pass
heading over to ski the claw. An old summit county ski bum that ended
up in Jackson.

As I have read, and heard, "All ski bums end up in Jackson
eventually".

Thats where I'd go. Bring a girl with you.

I think there's a camper somewhere near the gym with a spare berth.

Take earplugs...

I got back from Denali the end of June and climbed out the season for
Exum Mountain Guides. I'm heading for Park City the weekend after next
to party with some climbing buddies I spent time with in Big Cottonwood a
few weeks ago. We got a 51 year old guy who's lost 50 lbs in the last 6
months up the Middle Teton Labor Day Weekend in ****ty, icy, conditions.
What ever happened to you?

an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a

The previous empty post is proof that McLuhan was right: The medium is
the message.

Same old same old. Crappy hot weather with unseasonal humidity, sick
relatives, and the L.A. County Fair where we got to see an elephant
peeing, crapping (impressive quantities of both) and being washed. For
$35 they'll attach a bungee harness, haul you 100 feet into the air and
let you jump. You fall maybe 50 feet. Some people have more money than
brains. Is a 'blooming onion' REALLY worth $6?

Nothing wrong with Jackson for Bumming.

Do be aware that Winter lasts twice as long at Mammoth as at Jackson, as
measured by lift operation (a poor measure, but what else you got?)

We have 9 months of winter and 3 months of ****ty skiing. The NE snowfield
of the South Teton has been skiable all summer. The Teton Glacier never
melted down to blue ice. A gonzo snowboarder whahienie gal was heading
up to ride the Teepee Glacier with 6" of fresh on it three weeks ago.

We went 72 whole ****ing days in a row without a snowflake falling in the
Hole this year!
