Andy: Finance, Brains, Properties.
Andy is a passionate skier, mountaineer, sailor, cyclist and now an 'Iron Man'. He’s also an accountant. But don't hold it against him! Andy is the driving force behind the Adventure Base team, and while his daily focus is on counting beans and Iron man training, his heart is in running the best Adventure Sports Holiday Company in the Alps ... and the occasional pint of Guinness.

Rhi is smiley! She’s also pretty hardcore: A steep skiing, downhill biking, crazy climbing, organic vegetable growing, all round Mountain Girl. Rhi’s been quietly ticking off a list of seriously impressive ski descents around Chamonix. When she’s not abseiling into ridiculous couloirs, she bikes, runs, climbs, yoga-s and meditates. Rhi is in charge of Chalet staff and feng-shui in the Adventure Base office.

Steph: Marketing, Fitness & Dream Guides liaison.
Steph is the energiser bunny and runs Pure Fitness. Generally, if she’s not at her desk, she’s trail running all over the Chamonix valley, ski touring, biking up cols, triathlon training, or rock climbing. Regularly found tying herself in yoga knots, Steph is our resident fitness and health consultant, personal trainer, and yoga teacher. Steph likes anything involving a physical challenge, chocolate cake or wine!

olivia adventure base chalet staff chamonix

Olivia: Chalet Staff – summer 2010
Olivia is friendly, happy, and hyper organised! She grew up on a game farm in Pretoria, South Africa, with an outdoor kitchen - so her chalet cooking skills are finely honed, as well as her ‘can do’ attitude. Olivia and Craig are our Chamonix chalet staff, as well as keen rock climbers, walkers, and mountain lovers. When she’s not outside enjoying the mountain rays, Olivia harbours a secret obsession with crocheting.

guy dream guides chamonix accommodation

Guy: Dream Guides Director and IFMGA guide
If there’s anyone who can show you how to ski Chamonix's steeps and deeps, it’s Dream guides director and ‘extreme’ skier, Guy Willett. When Guy isn’t running Dream Guides and ski guiding, he keeps himself busy ‘skiing the gnar’ all over the world, including first descents and steep lines in Alaska, Greenland and Nepal. A creature of habit, Guy likes mountains, beer, peanuts, rugby and ‘Le Pub’.  

kenton dream guides chamonix accommodation

Kenton: Dream Guides Director and IFMGA guide
Kenton is ‘quite good’ at climbing mountains and ‘quite bad’ at being hungry. He holds the record for summiting Everest 8 times. He also guided Ranulph Fiennes on the North Face of the Eiger. Kenton lives his life in a warp speed blur. When he’s not running Dream Guides’ expeditions, he lectures, promotes Dream Guides, climbs, bikes, and sometimes (just once in a while) forgets things.

tiff dream gudies and adventure base team

Tiff: Dream Guides Office            
Tiff runs the Dream Guides office (shared with Adventure Base). When not keeping our visiting climbers and skiers – and guides! - under control, Tiff is regularly seen leaving the boys for dust on a snowboard or downhill mountain bike. The most likely of the team to ‘accidentally’ end up in Le Garage or Le Toff, Tiff also has a secret geek streak with a surprising passion for spreadsheets ...
