The article notes how &#8220;entrepreneurial ski bums&#8221; have realized that they can maintain their lifestyles by embracing the remote office and freelance work. Rather than being forced to work in a city such as Denver, two hours away from the closest ski resorts, skiers are using shared office spaces in mountain towns so that they can work and play all in the same place. As the article notes, &#8220;If anyone&#8217;s used to pooling resources, it&#8217;s the ski bum, who wouldn&#8217;t blink at splitting a 900-square-foot apartment with four roommates. Sharing desks and business contacts, then, is no problem.&#8221; In sum, this fun piece seems to take heart to the idea that &#8220;anyone is an entrepreneur.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As factors such as climate change, the rising prices of lift tickets, and a lack of affordable housing in ski towns make it more and more difficult for people to live the &#8220;ski bum&#8221; lifestyle, this article about skiers as &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/2018\/04\/08\/ski-bums-as-entrepreneurs\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2873,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2873"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3303"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3305,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3303\/revisions\/3305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/entrepreneurlaw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
