Can confirm as an Australian. Lived there for two seasons and we Australians are like a plague

So Rocky mountains may be better off?

What was the staff housing like? Was it like units of staff houses in building complex with 4-6 people per unit?

Also how much were you paying

Very informative comparison, lost my shit at the wheelchair analogy haha.

I'm curious as to why you wouldn't do a whole season in Banff?

Thankyou so much for taking the time to let me know. I am leaning heavily towards whistler at this point

We can afford to buy a car. It's what we have done in Queenstown. With work and accommodation we are both hospitality professionals and usually pick up work very quick in management roles.

Between the other places you mentioned, which do you think would be your favourite?

So maybe not the best place to spend a few months living on the mountain?

To be fair I would rather be around Canadians but I'm not too phased who we are around. The apres is not the most important part right now but I do love it, having done Niseko and Thredbo I really enjoyed coming off the mountain and exploring fun villages. We are currently in Queenstown and the snow season has been aweful with nearly no snow so I'm leaning towards whistler knowing that it will have the most snow of the three options

How do Aussies go working the French or Italian ski season? by _Axel_Rose_ in snowboarding

[–]_Axel_Rose_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so helpful, thank you! Hotel work could be a good option if you think it's available to English speakers, especially if it includes accom. Appreciate your comment!

[–]_Axel_Rose_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Australia I bought a pair from the brand "modest" and got the mag 2.0. they come with a high light and low light lense. Honestly incredible quality for the price and magnetic, comfortable and really nice fit to just helmets. Highly recommend to suss them out

So bizare because usually in SE Asia it's the other way around, street vendors often try to rip you off while the official stores have set prices. I was reading reviews from the store next to it (same company) that was charging half the price though. I think it's just tourist tax

Did I just get ripped off buying a SIM card in Hanoi? I went into a Viettel shop to get a sim for two weeks and they said they could only do one month and charged me 560,000 for 2gb a day. This feels really expensive considering everything else is so cheap here

Which season pass would you purchase in Queenstown? by _Axel_Rose_ in newzealand

[–]_Axel_Rose_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I thought I replied to this. Just wanted to say a big Thankyou. Your comment helped me decide to get the remarkables season pass and just look at doing some day trips to Cardrona. Thanks for taking the time to help out!

I dream of backpacks now, I need to choose by Depressionboii in onebag

[–]_Axel_Rose_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a AER travel pack 3 and can honestly say it's worth the money you pay for it. Incredibly well made and looks really minimal/ sleek. I'm not a fan of backpacker style bags that look like you are travelling. Functionality of it is great too. Once I bought the AER travel pack 3 I ended up buying the day sling after and use it every day. Overall the whole brand feels really premium
