Working with us this season in the new Chalet Bruyeres are Katherine and Jay – a lovely Welsh couple who we feel will be a great addition to our team. We thought you might like the chance to know a little about them before you get to Les Gets. So here are a few questions we asked, and what they said:
Jay (who’ll be the chalet chef)
Skier or boarder?
Both
When did you first learn to ski?
Age 11
Describe your best wipeout
Accidentally landed in someone’s garden after jumping a 15ft cliff (off piste) and clearing a road…however, my mate who I was skiing with managed to land in a pig trough!
What’s been your favourite moment on the mountain to date?
Every time!
What do you most like to cook?
Full English breakfast
Tell us your favourite joke
Two peanuts walked into a bar…one was a salted!
Which super power would you have and why?
The ability to fly…to avoid airports!
Complete this sentence: By the end of the season I’d like to…
Pull a 360 on a red jump
Katherine (who will assist in both chalets):
Skier or boarder?
Skier
When did you first learn to ski?
January 2010
Describe your best wipeout?
Most days of last season involved some sort of wipeout… usually involving my skis coming off, being covered in snow, my body in knots and Jay in stitches!

Skiing over a pool of water!
What do you most like to cook?
Sausages, mashed potato and onion gravy!

If I had two fish, I would name them One and Two. At least if one died, I would still have Two! (Awful, I know, but it’s all I’ve got!)

To time travel…to see life in the past and in the future
Complete this sentence: By the end of the season I’d like to…
Improve my French and hopefully land a jump!
