A decade-long study examines the experiences of snowsport instructors who have transitioned from traditional jobs to careers in skiing and snowboarding, prioritizing enjoyment and personal growth. While many left mundane jobs for more fulfilling opportunities, they faced challenges such as financial instability and the stress of constant travel. The study highlights that, unlike digital nomads, snowsport instructors maintain a different lifestyle, focusing on their passion for snowsports. Researchers note a significant trend where workers desire meaningful experiences over conventional productivity, impacting workforce dynamics.
With workers increasingly abandoning the traditional nine-to-five in favor of flexible schedules and locations, the study explored those who left conventional jobs to pursue careers in the snowfields.
Escaping the daily grind in search for a more meaningful career was the main motivation, but it didn't come without sacrifices.
Participants usually earned just enough money to maintain their lifestyle, constantly traveling with their possessions in one or two bags.
Although digital nomads and snowsports instructors shared some traits, they lived different lifestyles.
