If war does not catch up with them one way or another, the bums expect to be back at Sun Valley by November. By taking jobs nearby as packers, lifeguards, bartenders, they earn just enough to fill their cups and stomachs and gas tanks of the trucks in which they live and sleep. On the beach the bums spend every minute they can surfboarding, sunning, guzzling beer, making friends with people who come down to be weekend beach bums. They head first for their parentsвЂ™ homes where they drop off their skis and pick up their brightly colored, 15-foot-long surfboards. In May, as soon as the snow gets soft at Sun Valley, the bums begin to migrate. Now, however, they are beach bums, spending the summer at San Onofre, Calif., 70 miles south of Los Angeles, where they take as much delight in surfboarding on rolling waves as they did in winter schussing down snowy slopes. вЂњPhotographer Loomis Dean,вЂќ LIFE told its readers, вЂњlooked up his cold-weather friends and found them still leading a bumвЂ™s life.вЂќ The magazine serves as a reference point for major attractions and info at. BeachLife is a seasonal magazine (twice per year printed) of tourism, culture and leisure dedicated to our affiliated touristic destinations. Eight months later, in its August 28 issue, LIFE published a follow-up piece with the wonderful title, вЂњLIFE Revisits the Ski Bums (and Finds That They Are Now Beach Bums).вЂќ Activity: Media and Digital contents about Tourism, Hospitality and Entertainment. In February 1950, LIFE published a feature on what the magazine called вЂњthe gold-bricking existenceвЂќ of ski bums at Sun Valley, Idaho.
