The BUMS are big Facebookers. Click "like" to become part of an ever-expanding community of LGBT skiers and riders, and recommend us to your friends! It's a great way to learn the names of your fellow BUMS, so be sure to like, share and comment on the posts you see in your News Feed -- it's the only way to make sure Facebook will continue to deliver our updates to you.

The most common question in SKI BUMS land is, "Who's coming?" That's why we rely on Facebook Events. RSVP on the Event Pages for the trips you're taking, and say hello by writing on the event's Wall. For our parties like Avalanche and Powder Room, spread the word and send invites to the friends who you're hoping to ski and ride with this winter!

You can't have a great road trip to the mountains without a great soundtrack. Inspired by mix-tapes from family vacations and college buddy getaways, the SKI BUMS Bus Party Playlist is a fun and fabulous series of tunes that are suggested by the BUMS themselves. Each year, we crank up the volume for our fun-loving daytrip bus parties. This year, through Spotify, you can stream our playlist -- with than 50 tracks and over 3 hours of music. So whether you're rockin' out at your desk or reminiscing about the season, these tunes will get your groove on.

Our Chill. Out.™ slogan is popular -- so much so that people stop us during our appearances in the Pride Parades to ask where they can buy our t-shirts.

We've got a nifty American Apparel t-shirt that comes in our signature grey, but there are other colors (and women's sizes) too, alongside hoodies, baseball caps and more. It's a clever way to let people know which side of the mountain you're on. ;)
