Founder of Flexigroup and Liberal party powerbroker Andrew Abercrombie has been happily holidaying with a close group of Australian bluebloods at his apartment in Aspen in the US at the end of Europe's winter for close to a decade.

Many of the mostly Australian friends stay at his third-floor bedroom apartment atop North of Nell, right by the gondola at the base of Aspen Mountain, while others stay at nearby chalets.
