About the Book

This book comes from a parallel universe where everyone is friends on a powder day. A utopia where it makes perfect sense to be hopelessly addicted to something that falls out of the sky. A world where the truth never stands in the way of a good line…There is only one suitable backdrop for the titanic trials and triumphs of the ski-bum lifestyle: a curated collection of the world’s best ski photography. This is Ski Bum: shocking tales from the interplanetary snow bohemians and dedicated powder fiends propping up the bar in your local ski resort. Their stories veer between the most profound of human experiences and soap opera with skis on. This is the tragicomedy of life above the snowline: sex, death, and drama - all while praying for powder. From the team behind The Story of New Zealand Free skiing. All profits to Edenprojects.org to reforest Madagascar.

About the Author :
Sam Masters has competed in, written about, photographed and filmed freeskiing for 25 years. In 2021 he published The Story of New Zealand Freeskiing - a globally unique history of a sport whose playing fields create their own weather. A former Editor of Powderhound Ski Magazine, he has published hundreds of articles in the global snowsports media. Sam wrote, filmed, produced and anchored The Mayhem Tour - a snowsports TV show and webzine (that’s really what they called it in the early noughties). His powder addiction has forced him to endure 56 winters since 1994. Ski Bum is his second book. Sam lives in Christchurch, New Zealand.
