I think you missed a joke at the expense of the toothsome nightmare of après ski culture.

  Maybe, but I don't think I did, mainly because "expatriate" isn't spelled with a hyphen.

    I thought that was pretty obviously tongue-in-cheek: ex-zombie...ex-skier...ex-patriate. And this was disclaimed as a very rough first draft - I'm guessing the author (in subsequent drafts),an editor or a test-reader would have caught it & have it revised (it's pretty low-effort wordplay - but that's more than OK for a first draft as disclaimed, and the author could even keep it if they feel strongly about it)

      Hmm, yes, it could be. I've seen it written like that too often for it to be a good joke, but who knows what the intention was.
