Powder N Shine

History

Powder N Shine was started in 2009 by a British couple Francesca Smith and Steve Pangli. Both Steve and Francesca have been skiing and snowboarding for 20+ years, and having spent many years in London, Paris and New York respectively, it was time for a change. Steve and Francesca both took a sabbatical from their busy working lives in London and moved to Reberty Village to work across a number of chalets - hosting, cooking and maintaining them. Unfortunately, Francesca broke her leg on December 2nd after a skiing accident (misfortune as opposed to stupidity!) and could no longer work as a seasonnaire. Thankfully though, it opened the door for Francesca and Steve to set up their own company, which was something that had been in the pipeline previously.
