On my last ski trip west to Vail Colorado, the vast majority of employees I met and talked with were Australians. From the ski lifts to the highly experienced wait staff at a couple restaurants we enjoyed.

They were ski "gypsies" of all ages whose sole goal in life was to ski and that meant taking advantage of free skiing for whatever resort they were employed with.

When the ski season ends in the U.S., they move on to another country where the ski season begins.

One waiter I encountered was approx. 45 years old and spent his life rotating from country to country, following the snow seasons. He was Australian and spoke English, German, French and Portuguese since he would spend ski seasons in Argentina............

Argentina?
Probably should have learned Spanish...

i'm sure he'll end up in a socialist state for retirement so he can get free healthcare and stipends.

Interesting. Sounds like a skiing version of the surfer dudes from the original "Point Break" movie.

I met a mountain climber like that out in the Rocky Mountains a few years back. He spent his summers in North America and his North American winters down in the Andes.
