About Us

The Ski Bums’ Almanac is your source for ski-bum based wisdom and experience-based reviews and information.

We're a community of storm chasers, truck campers, parking lot dwellers, and hut-trip fanatics who believe that the best turns come to those who sleep in the back of their car or out in the backcountry.

This Almanac was built for the full spectrum of ski bum life:

  • Winter Car Camping beta for parking lot poachers and vanlifers

  • Insider guides and trip reports to huts, yurts, and ski-in shelters

  • Tips for staying warm, dry, and stoked when temps drop and gear gets crusty

  • Route ideas, gear lists, and dirtbag reviews

We’re here for parking lot mornings, wood-fired stoves, skintrack sunrises, and the frantic chaos that makes winter trips memorable. If you’ve ever brushed your teeth in your base layers in a parking lot or backcountry, you belong here.

Ski Bums’ Almanac is part field guide, part trip planner, and part tribute to the folks who keep showing up every winter.
