A seasonnaire is a term coined for the brit snowboarders who spend a winter season in foreign mountains.
As we have no real ski/board mountains in this country and less snow, we have to migrate seasonally to find it. It's not just a 4 hour drive on a weekend for us.
This will seem a little odd to canadians or americans but a little more familiar to aussies, kiwis and south africans who make up most of the worlds backpacking population.
I have 6 friends who are giving up quite lucrative jobs to do so.
It's becoming so common that a lot of companies are giving their staff sabbaticals of 5 months or more to retain their workers.
I hear you on the powder opinion Dashmonkey.
We did a 1 month tour last year. Big White, Nelson, Fernie, Kicking Horse and a few smaller stops on the way. Fernie was by far the best.
And this year she's put a hot tub into the house. Bonus!
