ski bum
Mountain resort regular
A ski bum is someone who prioritizes skiing over career advancement, typically working seasonal jobs at or near ski resorts to maximize time on the slopes.
The term carries affection rather than judgment—ski bums embrace the lifestyle deliberately: He spent his twenties as a ski bum in Colorado before settling down.
The pattern extends to other pursuits: surf bum, beach bum.
