J'ai (déjà) complété trois saisons de travail aux sports d'hiver à Verbier (en Verbier) Explanation: à Verbier : if it's a town or a particular resort en Verbier : if it is a region You can of course say "J'ai travaillé trois hivers ..." "J'ai fait trois saisons d'hivers..." the latter being more familiar. As your original uses "finished" I think you may be able to say "complété". Further, if you were actually working in the snow-sports field, then you could provide full info and say "aux sports d'hiver". Nikki |
