Ski Bum a gorgeously curated collection of some of the most iconic ski photographs ever taken, and the stories behind them. It tells the stories of the riders who put the pursuit of powder, and the bum lifestyle, above all else. 

"There is no greater mission, no worthier cause, no higher calling, and no more majestic use of your time than ripping the shit out of powder snow as often as you can. Ski bum, pro, sponsored, industry type, wannabe or just plain talented – Ski Bum has the best ski photos of all time."

Sam asked the world's best ski photographers to submit their ten best photos:

"Only photos of such grandeur – and chaos – could match the accompanying tales of the ski bum lifestyle. Stories that 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 pow… all spread lavishly over 208 pages of full colour, A4-sized, alpine goodness."

And just remember - "It's always better to ski deeper snow than buy skinnier skis."

Featuring the work of, amongst others; Scott Markewitz, Camilla Rutherford, Wade McKoy, Hank de Vre, Mattias Fredriksson, Oscar Enander, Yves Garneau, Pally Learmond, Grant Gunderson, Tony Harrington and Adam Clark
