hello boys hows it going
im graduating college this spring and am planning to move out to california and become a ski bum
got a few jobs lined up and i have some options

i have been to california to ski many times as a kid and i am very familair with the terrain of each mountain. something i am not so familair with is the night life because i was much younger when i was consistently skiing out in california

if anyone from the area could give me some advice on what resort areas have the best night life i.e. good going out scene/ bars/ active night life/ and girls

please give me some help here as this is deffninitly a factor on where i make my decision

thanks

Honestly I've skied both lots of resorts in CA and I wouldn't really wanna ski bum there, I'd way rather do it in CO to be honest, crazy parties all the time and the most chill people ever

I would not want to ski bum in Colorado. The Sierra are steeper and have historically gotten more snow.

I did my ski bum years in Squaw Valley and absolutely loved it. The party scene is fun, for a ski town, but the female ratio is terrible. It is probably better there than at most places, but don't expect it to be like college, as ski town ratios are not good. The women in Tahoe were not nearly as hot as the girls where I went to college and there were not nearly as many of them. Just trying to prepare you so you are not shocked. There are lots of women from the bay who come in on the weekends, but you will probably be working weekends, I usually was. Having said all of that Tahoe City had a fun party scene, just don't expect as many women as you are used to coming from college.

I would not base where you ski bum on parties and girls. If you leave and go to the working world and live in a big city you will find a much better social scene with more and hotter women. You are doing this year to ski as much as possible and get a nice 120 day year. If you leave for the real world this will be your only chance to do this. You should really make this year about skiing and focus almost only on that. I'm not saying you can't party, but you have plenty of time to party and do so in places where the partying is better. This year should be about the best skiing you can possibly get.

Tahoe or mammoth are your only real options. tahoe is probably better because you have more mountains to choose from

Yeah tahoe is your best option. You have squaw, heavenly, kirkwood, northstar and plenty of other resorts to choose from. Truckee is a dope little town. And there are tons of resort jobs to choose from as well.

if you are anything like the other Skierman you don't need to worry about girls because you just aren't going to get laid. Hopefully you are different.
