- Kiomi is originally from Whitby in Ontario, Canada. Being born into a ski race family, she learnt to ski as soon as she could walk, and since then she hasn’t looked back. She returns to Banff after having already lived here 3 years ago, in the search for the perfect snow conditions, and to put her racing experience for the Oshawa snow-racing club into practice. Kiomi’s main aim this winter season is to enter a master’s race, and considers Jackrabbit at Sunshine Village her favorite run.

Having worked in an indoor ski dome back home Simon wanted to get out and test himself on some real mountains and aim to put his ski instructor qualification to good use. Being a graduate of Outdoor studies and Geography, Simon is enjoying exploring the Banff’s varied terrain, and has made it his aim to get all of housemates skiing by the end of the season. Simon has also been fortunate to be told he is the spitting image of Chicken Little and Harry Potter.
