I wonder what the restrictions are for relocating to a country like Switzerland.

end of day, I'll probably never leave New England again. I did my four years away from here. Family and sense of place are strong despite all the BS I/we put up with as US citizens that often lead me to believe there might be better options out there.
I wonder how well the ski season is going down there this summer? ... I will have to google it and try to find out.
