Help a ski lady out!

Not hating, but asking a bunch of strangers to fund you $5k so you can go ski? Ambitious.
My friend lived for an entire season in Revy and he was a broke-ass ski-bum, he had a van that I think cost him $800 and he lived in it.
I did a season in Fernie without any car at all, just hitched everywhere I needed to.
Best of luck to you, but I don't think you're gonna find a lot of sympathy/help on NS...

But if other dead broke skiers don't fund my skiing, how will I ski?

Your blue name is making me suspicious

Thanks I know, I'm feeling awfully ambitious. Thought I might give it a try though...
I'm fully prepared to be a broke-ass ski bum with or without a car. Guess I'm just testing out how much of a "community" this site is too..

Post tits in thread and ill donate

Next time drive with car insurance

Op congrats on taking the plunge and going to spend a winter season in a ski town. Your gonna love it.
However if you got two good knees and a pair skis, nothing should be able to stop you from a season in revei.
Also Post up in regionals forum when your trying to get to town. I'm sure someone will be going that way before the snow flies. Easily be able to hitch a ride. Also (I know someone will hate the reference) TGR forum Is a good place to check for rides.

Let's test how bad you want this car...

So you want other people to pay for your mistakes? Lol. Quit being a lazy pile and work your ass off for it if its something you really want

Soooo what you're saying is this money isn't for skiing... It's so you can buy a new car.



How pathetic.

Get off your ass, stop asking dead broke ski bums for money and get a fucking job.




Please

Hey guys,

6 years ago I wanted to go to CoC but then I didn't get a job. Will you all send me $600 so I can go next year? It's a really sad story. After all, that's what "community" is for, right?

Get off your ass and find a job. Nobody wants to pay for your fuck ups. Learn your lesson and bite the bullet just like everybody else.

This is awesome! I ain't giving you no money, but if you can raise 280 smackaroos in one day, you might actually stand a chance, good for you!

With 2 posts, you aren't part of this community. Fuck off. Sometimes life gets in the way of skiing. Deal with it instead of begging.

Moving to revy is a great idea, I did it in 2014/2015 and it turned out in a stupid grin on my face for almost every day I was there. So i say go for it no matter if you have a new car by then or not.

You don't need much for a season, you're skigear and some clothes which can all easily fit into one skibag. i flew over from the Netherlands with no plan, besides the idea of wanting to live in revelstoke and my gear. When i landed in Kelowna I stuck up my thumb and everything worked out beautifully from that point onwards. I spend my last money on a return ticket from Calgary back home, and now i'm working two jobs again to do nothing but ski all season next year.

I understand that you might not like the idea of hitching, but there are plenty of other affordable options to get there as long as you don't take all your belongings with you. Rideshare as mentioned before, just being one example

I find it weird that you're trying to appeal to the (ski) community as a whole and create the feeling that without the (ski)communities support your dream is doomed, while you only joined this website just recently.

A car crash is horrible and it's good to hear that you guys made it out with your good health.
But as it sounds like to me is that you have enough money saved up to spend a season in revelstoke, but whether it happens or not is depending on the ski community generousity to help you get a new car.

I don't think appealing to broke skibums will get you very far in achieving your goal. And frankly I find it a bit crass to start a gofundme for this.

Use your friends whip, duh.

I'll sell you my car for 4k, there you now only need 4k
