“I lived and worked in Vail, Colorado, for about three months. I went with three friends and we worked with people from the USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, England, New Zealand, and Australia... all of them were great fun and work was never dull. There were heaps of perks - our employer paid for our season lift pass, which was worth about $1,000AU. We had free rentals of all the skis and boards and our shifts were rostered so that we could board every day.” Lizzy from Brisbane worked in Vail, Colorado
