It’s not an exact medical term (that we know of) but it’s likely that PSD will begin to grip Morzine this month as the season comes to a close. Say goodbye to the BFFs you’ve made as you take those ski or snowboard boots off for the last time. Take a final glance at those blue skies, knowing that they won’t be there to greet you when you land back home. And that demi of Mutzig will never taste the same anywhere else… We’ve done some research using a few available sources and we reckon there were anywhere between 15% and 22% more seasonaires in Morzine this winter than last year. More season workers than ever before came to the resort without pre-arranged jobs to start, having saved enough cash from work back home to pay for their season accommodation, which is often cheaper than in other ski resorts. One thing is for sure… you’ve all had a stonking great winter. If the transient lifestyle of the season worker has you hooked and you can’t face the monotony of life back home, here’s our pick of the best summer jobs on offer in Europe and beyond…
