Paul
Ski Weekender’s founder, used to be a snowboarder but is now to be found more often on skis.

Gabby
Gabby is pretty much part of the furniture here at ski weekender. Hailing from the land of the long white cloud, after having spent the last two winters and summer here in the Aravis, she feels as though it’s a home away from home. She’s looking forward to another winter of shredding the slopes and spinning some yarns with the guests, whilst helping them to make the most of their trip.

Ben
With the arrival of the cold, wet snap in Belfast and with the daily rain the thought of spending the winter indulging his hobby of rebuilding a truck became less appealing; having visited in September a winter in the fabulous Aravis seemed a much more attractive proposition so Ben is looking forward to getting out to the Alps and spending time getting to know the area and our guests.

Briar
Briar is looking forward to her second season with Ski Weekender and hopefully will be another amazing season. Part of our Front of House team last season but this year she is working as David’s assistant chef.

She’s looking forward to improving her skiing even more and making some even better memories.
