As a recent college graduate and fledging newspaper reporter in the Lake Tahoe area, Jeremy Evans became immersed in ski bum culture--a carefree lifestyle whose mantra was simply: "Ski as much as possible." His snowboarding suffered when he left for a job in the Portland area; and when, at twenty-six, he suffered a stroke, he reexamined his priorities, quit his job, moved back to Tahoe, and threw himself into snowboarding. But while he had been away, the culture had changed. This book is Evans's paean to the disappearing culture of the ski bum. A fascinating look at a world far removed from the larger culture, it is also a curious account of a passion for powder and what its disappearance means. Evans looks at several prominent ski towns in the West (including Crested Butte, Jackson Hole, Telluride, Lake Tahoe, Park City, and Mammoth) and the ski bums who either flourished or fled. He chronicles the American West transformed by rising real estate costs, an immigrant workforce, misguided values, and corporate-owned resorts. The story he tells is that of quintessentially American characters--rejecting materialism, taking risks, following their own path--and of the glories and pitfalls their lifestyle presents.Binding Type: Paperback

A Shimmering Touch with Some Drawbacks
The Yosca Body Shimmer Oil offers a way to add a touch of radiance to my makeup routine. This 50ML gold shimmer body oil is designed for creating a shimmering and moisturizing glow, ideal for concerts, parties, or achieving a summer glow.
Pros:
Moisturizing Formula: The oil provides hydration, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturized throughout the day.
Versatile Use: It can be applied to both the body and face, allowing for a cohesive glow from head to toe.
Long-Lasting: The shimmer is designed to last for hours, aiming to keep the glow intact throughout events.
Cons:
Subtle Glow: I found that the glow is not as pronounced as I expected, which might not meet the expectations of those looking for a more vibrant shimmer.
Transfer to Clothing: The oil tends to transfer to clothing quite a bit, which can be inconvenient and requires careful application and drying time.
Overall, while the Yosca Body Shimmer Oil offers moisturizing benefits, the subtle glow and transfer issues make it less ideal for those seeking a more pronounced and hassle-free shimmer. It may work well for those looking for a gentle touch of radiance, but it's important to be mindful of its transfer potential.

Gives a beautiful glow
I recently tried the Yosca Body Shimmer Oil, and it’s a great product for adding a radiant, sun-kissed glow to my skin! The gold shimmer is beautiful and noticeable without being too glittery, making it perfect for concerts, parties, or a summer glow.
The oil itself is lightweight and moisturizing, absorbing nicely without feeling greasy. It has a subtle, pleasant scent, which is a nice bonus. The 50ML size is decent, though I wish there was a larger option available.
The only downside is that the shimmer can transfer onto clothes if not fully dried, so I recommend letting it set for a few minutes. Otherwise, it lasts well throughout the day. Thank you

Not the best glow or radiance
Sticky feeling very low radiance but it’s more natural I guess and has a slight smell not a good aroma over all very nice wish there was more glow to it and not feel sticky I guess from the oil texture

A bit greasy
I know this is a body shimmer oil, but I felt it was a bit of a oily, greasy feeling on my skin. It does go on easily and has nice light shimmer or glow to it.
