Being a ski bum seems like a great idea when you’re in your twenties. Then one day you’re in your thirties or forties and realize you’re still making almost nothing working in a restaurant or running a ski lift and now have few prospects for a better life. Plus, drugs and alcohol are a big part of the ski bum lifestyle, which is certainly not good for long term mental health. The author of the piece wants to blame it on anything other than poor decision making.
The U.S. ski bum-scum areas are full of rich, spoiled, liberal retards.
The voting data is unmistakable; it’s nearly impossible to find a ski resort area (at least a high profile one) even in the “reddest” of states like Idaho, Wyoming and Utah that isn’t loony leftist at the ballot box.
It wasn’t always unanimous like it is now; back when President Ford was a regular visitor to Vail, that place was considered to be a decent alternative to the trendy asswipes in Aspen. Vail sucks just about as bad as Aspen these days, and that’s quite a difficult “accomplishment”.
If these fragile liberal snowflakes want to off themselves, more power to them.

Did they look at elevation ? Mountain towns. Not only ski areas. That isn’t enough alone but obviously impacts all mountain states and has a higher statistical correlation with suicide than any other geographic condition.
