I am a Civil Engineer which would like to go a for a sesion out next winter. Do you think I could work freelancing during this period when abroad? Where should I look for jobs, etc?
Cheers,

I am self employed and have done the past 2 seasons abroad. If your work is brain taxing then its gets hard as you are tired after riding for 8+ hours a day 7 days a week, so mentally prepare yourself to have days off the hill to work although powder rules must still apply .
If you are only going to do one season in your life then be a bum! If you want to do many then I dont know what a civil engineer does but if you can do it on a laptop or on a bit of paper and email/post it then there is no reason you cant live in resort and freelance doing civil engineering.
As to where to look for Jobs as a freelancer then professional contacts, family, friends, friends of the family and your friends family are a few places to start!
