The skit, from RTS, probably says more about a type of person who goes to Verbier than Americans in general. I remember once hearing a couple of Hoorays in a gondola at Verbier waxing lyrical about different makes of ski and the importance of certain types of boot and binding, only to see them gingerly snow-ploughing down the slopes.
Mind you I did meet one American resident of Anzère the other week who, without a touch of irony, told me he ran Europe from his chalet.
