Any one ever gone to the Southern Hemisphere for skiing in the summer like NZ, AUS or South America. I was thinking in the summer it would be sick to go to like NZ and ski for a bit then you could ski all year long. Or you could just live on Oregon for 10 month skiing at timberline.

If you have a touring setup, a car and a drive to ski you can really ski most months out of the year if you live in the mountains.

Yeah. I was living in Colorado and moved to Queenstown, New Zealand. After the season, I moved to Australia. Spent their summer there (our winter) and then did another season in Australia. After that, I moved to Finland so I’ve done back to back winters both ways.

If you’re under 30, a working holiday visa is free to NZ. I think they are reimbursing for fees for a WHV in Australia now too.
