Alpine Helo Flying

Hi All

Did a quick search but didn't find what I was after - anyway, was skiing last week and it reminded me as usual what a pretty cool job it appears to be operating the helos in ski resorts that are used to rescue, transport etc. Got me thinking how I'd love to mix it with my current job (left seat B757) - say helos in the winter, fixed wing the rest of the year. Wondering if someone would be kind enough to enlighten me with a few facts?

Is it a good job or not? Is it something that rotorheads would aspire to? Do the french/swiss etc guard these jobs with their you-know-whats, or if you have the required experience is getting a job possible?

What kind of experience would they be looking for?

Thanks!
