see, that's just a drop in the bucket for a ski bum! make sure you have at least 3 drivers and it's all good!

By the sound of accents heard at the ski resorts around here you'd think they were mostly populated by Australians and/or New Zealanders.

that's because they follow the season. must be nice to have that kind of money huh? also one of the reasons you run into it there in Vancouver so much is that there is a well used program at Whistler that brings in "exchange" workers for the ski area. it's only open to citizens of what's left of the British Empire we were told

I believe the majority of them have jobs to support their passion.

you can't do that and follow the season. I've met some real special cases up there!

I'm talking temporary, or part-time jobs that last just for the season. It's usually seasonal work at the resorts although some will stay on for the mountain biking during off-season.

This also brings me on to book series. If you've written a book series, don't convert Book 3 or 4 onwards to ebook and not start at the beginning. It's stupid and instead of forcing me to buy a paperback, it just means I'll buy someone else's book series and read that instead!
it's worse when book#1 is in e, and then the remainder are not [TOR you listening!]

Yeah, I know a few folks who follow winter round the planet. My niece and boyf' is about to give it a go. Fairly spare living (they're starting in an old van down south around Hotham), but for those who like the snow so, the relative poverty is worth it.

Cheers,
Marc

it could be pretty awesome. but snow bums end up living like puppies, all sleeping in a pile, eating out of comunal pots etc, just to make everything stretch

Vat: +25%
Toll: +10 %

handling fee: around 25$.

So all in all: probably around 100$ extra for the device I paid 250$ for.
Ouch! Is it totally random on which packages that they check?
