I am just a ski bum with a work problem

Ski Buzz is an exciting concept in ski holidays for the passionate ski bum. Experience everything you love about the alps - long days of hard skiing, brilliant blue skies and sunshine, immaculately groomed pistes, fresh powder, tumbles, fast skiing and exhilaration. Follow days on the slopes with après drinks, beer, wine and glühwein. Great stories, banter and fun. Tomorrow rejoice as the sun rises over the mountains - a new day to do it all again. The Ski Buzz concept was inspired by the sheer exhilaration of sharing great skiing days with like minded (and similar standard) mates; including partners, children, friends or new skiing buddies. We invite you to join a small group of like-minded skiers to revel in a unique alpine experience on an escorted ski tour of Italy and Austria's finest slopes. I am just a ski bum with a work problem

Ski Buzz has been created by siblings Yvonne Verstandig and Daniel Burger. Yvonne and Daniel live in Melbourne and grew up skiing at Mt Buller most weekends. Family holidays during their youth were spent skiing overseas as often as possible and whilst at University they chased any job available in the snow. Eventually careers and family took priority over life on the slopes and those carefree ski days became a distant memory. Yvonne is now a director of Executive Edge Travel + Events and Daniel is an architect and development consultant. Whilst Yvonne spent most of her childhood being tormented by older brother Daniel, their love of skiing has brought them together as adults with a mission to create the perfect ski adventure for like-minded passionate ski bums.
