Skier Bio: Robyn "Beena" Avery
Ms. Robyn "Beena" Avery is a second-year Ski Holidayer. Robyn lives in Boston, where she works as a Sr. Recruiter for a large pediatric hospital. When she's not recruiting and hiring, she spends her free time globe trotting and seeking adventures. Some of her favorite places to visit have been New Zealand, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, and soon-to-add Canada. On the weekends she enjoys spinning, running and singing karaoke. You will also spot her at the après-ski with a glass of vino in hand.
Boarder Bio: Elliot Reed
Mr. Elliot Reed is back! Elliot was the driving force behind the amazing 3 Vallées France trip March 2006. He had a strong but injury-prone showing for the 2007 Verbier Switzerland trip. And he flexed his karaoke muscles (I WANNA ROCK) at Holiday 2008 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Elliot was born in the Netherlands, raised in Phoenix, and currently hails from Cleveland. Elliot currently serves as the general manager of VasoLux MicroSystems, a start-up medical device company. Fun facts: in 1993 Elliot was a pineapple picker in Maui; he is also color blind and routinely buys purple things believing them to be blue.

Fun Facts, Eh!
• Canada is the world's second-largest country (after the Russian Federation), covering almost ten million square kilometres. A quarter of this is the Inuit homeland of Nunavut.
• Canada extends across six time zones, and shares a border with the US of 8900km. The highest point is Mount Logan (5959m).
• The population is almost 33 million, with an average life expectancy at birth of 80 years. Almost a half claim British ancestry, a quarter French ancestry and just under a million (3.3 percent) claim aboriginal ancestry.
• Canada is a confederation comprising ten provinces and three territories. It has been self-governing since 1867, but retains ties to Britain: the Canadian head of state is Queen Elizabeth II.
• Canada's colossal natural resources help put it among the world's top-ten richest countries. Almost two-thirds of its power is hydroelectric, and it's one of the few developed nations that is a net exporter of energy.
