"beat the system": tip 20: find a hotel-room in a fully booked ski-resort

(this one is NOT from the guerilla book)

Go to the Ambulance-Center/Hospital of that village, enter the waiting-room and ask the people there, if they by "chance" know about a free room.

Chances are, that a skier's-accident will just have provided one for you.

please explain to me the basic-meaning/double meaning/quadruple meaning of "ambulance chaser" (by email, because for you english mothertongue speaking people this topic will be less interesting) - thank you.

An ambulance chaser is generally referred to as an attorney that seeks out accident victims before they can even get to the hospital...hence, they listen to the emergency broadcast frequency and "follow" the ambulance to the victim.

Or maybe it is just a dog that likes to chase vehicles with sirens.
