The More Mountain Team
At More Mountain we pride ourselves on employing grown up friendly and professional staff with a lot of life experience, passion for the mountains and good commercial experience.
Working closely at all times with Sam & Jon, they have a thorough knowledge for the business and know what good service is all about, mainly because most of them have actually stayed as guests at More Mountain or been to Morzine in the past. We couldn’t ask for more really…Meet the team for 2012.
Sam & Laura LA CABINE
Sam & Laura met at university and discovered a shared love for skiing and snowboarding. Since graduating, Sam has worked in Sales & Marketing for the action sports industry. He’s an adventurous chap and recently biked from Lands End to John O’ Groats in an impressive 11 days. When not recovering from saddle sore, you’ll find him cruising the skate parks of the Midlands!
Laura’s work involved organising volunteering projects and events for university students and young people. She has previously lived and worked in France, and is looking forward to returning to the land of cheese and champagne. Laura likes to pretend she’s Mary Berry and is famed for her Choccocino Cake.
“More Mountain offer exactly the kind of holiday that we would like to go on – luxury accommodation, scrumptious food, great people, and amazing shredding. We couldn’t be more pleased to be part of the More Mountain team and look forward to welcoming you to La Cabine for good wine, good food and good times!”
Laura & Nathan CHALET ROBIN
After years of working in the corporate world, Laura & Nathan are biting the bullet and moving to the mountains!
Nathan is a keen snowboarder but back home he worked in customer services for 15 years. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he is always happy to help. Being a boarder, Laura is set on making Nathan digress from the dark side and learn how to ski…
Laura has been skiing since she was five and one of her favourite past times is beating Nathan down the mountain! Laura studied Interior Design before starting a career in Beer Marketing. She is very bubbly and energetic with a love of good food, wine and certain beers! She will reluctantly be turning to the dark side and learning how to snowboard thanks to Nathan…
“We are incredibly excited about this season and super chuffed to be working for More Mountain. More Mountain are offering the kind of style and service that we’re all about. We are thrilled to be part of the team and we look forward to welcoming you to Chalet Robin!”
Jenny THE LOFT
Jenny is a board sports mad girl who decided “you only live once so you’ve got to follow your heart” So… her heart led her to More Mountain and the mountains of Morzine Avoriaz.
Following a successful 10 year career in the Armed Forces, Jenny made the break and followed her passion for snowboarding. She has snowboarded her way around a number of resorts in France, Canada and Bulgaria.
She has more enthusiasm for mountain life than you can shake a stick at and has spent the last 2 years working in a chalet in Bulgaria. She is a qualified snowboard instructor and its safe to say her work ethic is strong – she can handle pretty much anything you throw at her!
“I am VERY excited to be joining More Mountain for the coming season and working in The Loft. More Mountain has everything I would look for myself when booking a holiday and promises a winter holiday experience that is second to none. In The Loft this winter you can expect to have good times, plenty of laughs and few beers along the way!”
Ricardo Flashini CHALET OPERATIONS MANAGER
“Ric holidayed with More Mountain in 2009, staying at La Cabine. He immediately fell in love with the chalet, the resort and the whole More Mountain experience… he simply had to apply to Sam and Jon to be part of their team for winter….and as they say the rest is history!”
Ric has a BA (Hons) degree in Hospitality Management and over 10 years managerial experience within the industry. Having spent 2 years running our sister chalet, La Cabine, Ric is moving into a managerial role with us this winter and is also helping Jenny to run the LOFT. He has a lot of experience at More Mountain with both our clients and our working partners in resort. You may have spoken to him on the phone already as he is also our office manager when we cant be there. He has an infectious enthusiasm which is limitless and always reminds you that you are here on holiday to have a great time.
“My aim is to ensure you will love the More Mountain Catered Chalet Experience just as much as I did, if not MORE!”
Ruth & Dan APARTMENT MANAGERS and ”IN RESORT CONCIERGE”
Ruth & Dan are a dab hand at running chalets with over 8 years hospitality experience across a wide range of chalet operators in both operational and managerial positions. Last year was their 6th Winter here in Morzine and they have worked for More Mountain for 2 years. Having spectacularly ran our flagship chalet, Chalet Robin, for this duration NOW its time for a new challenge.
“We’ve been very lucky and lived in loads of great resorts in Europe and North America but now we always come back to Morzine. Fact is, the Portes du Soleil is just by far the best place to snowboard. We love the mountains here!”
As ambassadors for our self catering business, Ruth and Dan will be Apartment Managers and “In Resort Concierge” for More Mountain as a result of their knowledge and expertise in Morzine. It’s safe to say they know their stuff and they will ensure standards are high and service levels are second to none!
“We are soooo excited about this winter.The Apartments are looking great, Morzine has loads going on this year and we have a very good feeling about the snow this year too!”
