About Me

This is my 9th season with Finlays. I started as a Chalet Host in 2000, working in Persval 2. I was responsible for a chalet of up to 9 guests. After a great 1st season I returned for a 2nd. My 2nd saw me moving up to Echo where I remained for the next 5 seasons, each fantastic. After my 3rd season I took on the additional role of general book-keeping, this was done in between hosting duties and playing in the snow. In 2006 I sadly hung up my oven mitts and stashed away recipes in order to become the RAM (Resort and Administration Manager). In my 3rd season I discovered it wise to inform guests that I both ski and board,(which indeed I do!), this has got me out of many a tricky situation during dinner conversations!In the summer months I mainly travel, however,this summer saw us working in Les Coches doing some maintenance work, all which can be read about on my blog postings! We also went to Prague for a holiday and I did a months work in a fishing lodge in Coldstream. Previous summers I have followed the snow to South America, NZ and Australia, I still think the best skiing and boarding is found in Val though!!!
