  • A story about Jimmy Petterson who could have spent his life as a teacher, molding young minds and preparing the next generation to take over our world. Instead, to his father’s great disappointment, he has spent most of the last 50 years as a ski bum.
    Jimmy’s obsessive pursuit of the ultimate ski run and the perfect powder dump has led him to take jobs including ski instructor, off-piste guide, travel guide, slopeside singer-entertainer, bar owner, hotelkeeper, travel arranger and most recently ski writer and photographer. He has skied on all seven continents and in more than 70 countries covering 500+ ski resorts during his search for ski nirvana, and his work has been published in 20 of those nations.
    Last season he met us, four fellows from Sweden who share the same passion for skiing as Jimmy. This is a story about a friendship that spans over generations and a tribute to the Scandinavian ski culture.
    Shot in Austria during last season
    Enjoy

    In a world gone crazy skiing is pure and represents the best of living.

      Lol, no it's not pure. It's infected by rich people going skiing once a year, let alone the huge impact ski resorts have on the environment. If you want pure, go hiking in the snow.

    Ski bummed for a year around BC coast. Best year of my life. I cherish those times. Total freedom. Good people out there.

    At snowbird, we would seek out the older ski bums, smoke them out for them to take us to the “hidden” powder spots… that after 3-5 days of the storm, you can go there and get face shots all day

    “Owned a ski resort” …. “They were ski bums” yes because owning a resort is really living that bum life. The rich need to get real.
