It's kind of sad. A while back the same happened to Colorado's most prolific ski bum. He spent decades living out of his vehicle, working odd jobs, and dedicating his life to skiing as much as possible. He wasn't a nuisance by any measure of the word. I remember seeing his old camper every time ai'd go to Arapahoe Basin (aka The Legend), the local's favorite mountain, far removed from the crowded resort towns. Then one day it was gone... It turns out, somebody in local government wanted to send a message that ski bums are no longer welcome. So they started regularly harassing him until they found a reason to pin him with a charge and send him to jail. Here's the news story: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_14158633 http://www.denverpost.com/ci_14158633 The local ski/snowboarding community was pretty pissed about it because he was well known/liked and really didn't deserve to be treated with such indignity. I've spent my fair share of time skiing/snowboarding and living in mountain towns. They all have corrupt, exploitative, local governments run by terrible people. Don't even get me started on Granby, CO. The town that made national news for the guy who armor plated a bulldozer and destroyed a large portion of downtown before killing himself. He wasn't crazy, the town used zoning laws to destroy his business and livelihood.
