Well, that's precisely what Lisa McGonigle did when she abandoned her scholarship at Oxford and moved to the mountains of British Columbia to become a ski-bum. Enjoy this informative and often
humourous journal which recounts her adventures.
Composed of the emails written as events unfolded, and infused with an Irish take on Canadiana, Snowdrift documents the joyous, impoverished and injury-ridden life of a ski-bum who'll do almost
anything for fresh lines and explores just what happens when you leave it all behind to follow the snow.
