"A continuous US ski tour that produces micro-content as it tells the story of “low-pro” skiers like myself, in an entrepreneurial 2017 off-the-cuff kind of way, going through the process & struggle of quitting your job, traveling, ski-bumming, running a brand, getting sponsorships, & all things relatable to average skiers, while traveling to locations showcasing “low-pro’s” and hosting a variety of unofficial & off-the-cuff events including ski rallies, ski contests, live music, movie screenings, skier presentations, signings, ski art shows, tattooing, etc."
The Skier Trash® Low-Pro Road Show™ was an idea I started kicking around since this brand was started. At the time the only tour happening was Glen Plake's "Downhome Tour" and Andy Parry's "Tell A Friend (TAFT) Tour" hadn't happened yet (And I'm sure there some other shit that was happening out there that I'm just not aware of...). Both of which I've been on at some point (Ski bum roadie? Anyway to be involved.). What I realized was that the best days were on the road going to new places, skiing with complete stoked strangers! Skiers would be so happy to meet and ski with whoever was on tour and vice versa. I never understood why everyone wasn't out on tour (well I do but I'll save that rant for another time. Short answer is because the ski industry sucks!).
No sponsors, no trust funds. Just good old fashion ski bumming. Skis, van, & a few tamales in the bank.
While the specifics have changed overtime (like by the day), the general idea has stayed the same - Hit the road, ski and give thanks to the skiers that have supported SKIER TRASH®!!!
