About Breezy and Alun

It is always good to get a feel about the people who will look after you on your hols, so here is a little bit about me-Breezy.


I am from Yorkshire originally and after doing a Sports Studies Degree in Newcastle, I decided it was time to improve my skiing, so I decided that I would do one season. As with so many other people one season goes into another and another… I was lucky and worked for several tour operators and worked in many resorts in France and Canada.

I spent 7 years working in ski resorts in the winter and travelling for the rest of the year. After doing a season in Chamonix, I realised that this was the place for me and so began Ski Breezy offering catered accommodation.

I managed to find the chalet in 2001 which was ideally suited for me, as it sleeps 10 people and with this size I knew I could easily run it on my own. Being from a Yorkshire family I have been brought up in a very sociable household, emphasis always on a warm welcome, plenty of excellent home cooking and flowing wine, which has helped in creating the atmosphere you will find in my chalet.

I have always been very actively involved in all sports and outdoor activities. I still continue to be able to enjoy these activities and love skiing, ski touring, rock climbing, mountain biking, tennis and walking. More recently I married Al who I met in Chamonix over 10 years ago. He is now my chief assistant in the chalet and like me he knows the Chamonix Valley extremely well.



Hi, I’m Alun. Originally from Berkshire, I left education after A levels and worked in outdoor centres for a number of years coaching outdoor pursuits before finding a career in Learning and Development.

Now I am a freelance Trainer and Facilitator as well as sous chef in the chalet.

Having snowboarded for some 20 years I took up telemark skiing as something new to learn. I love it and can now get everywhere I used to go on a board, and more. No more snowshoeing up hill and carrying a board.

I love the outdoors; climbing, skiing, snowboarding and walking. I don’t run unless I am late and only swim if I have fallen out of a boat. I am good at chopping up vegetables.

When not in Chamonix Breezy and I split our time between the Peak District of Derbyshire and The Pyrenees where we took on a bit of a project www.radicalfish.eu
