About Us

The White Room: a perfect moment deep in a powder turn where the snow curls over you like a wave and you can see nothing but white.

We're passionate snowboarders and have been for over 12 years. We started mountain-biking shortly after we started snowboarding as a means of getting a summer fix and we've become at least as passionate about bikes as we are about snowboards. We've also both recently learned to ski, but there's no sign of it becoming a permanent conversion just yet! Stevo is now a BASI level 2 snowboard instructor.

After graduating in 2001, we did the 9-5 corporate thing for about 6 years, until we decided that there were more fun ways to make a living! We wanted to combine our passions for snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking (and cake-eating) with running our own business. The White Room is the result.

We've now been in Sainte Foy for over 4 years and The White Room has grown and developed in that time. We're now running several properties, some specialist off-piste weeks and growing the summer business. Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Happy trails!
