Owen Finnson - Maintenance + Management

Owen grew up in Enderby with an agricultural background. He fell in love with the mountains first from x-country skiing, then downhill. He joined a freestyle program, and was competitive for some years. He started a construction company and had the great honour of building the guest lodge, and then fell in love with the mountains up here.

Dave studied Culinary Arts for his Red Seal certification at Okangan College. He hails from Penticton where he previously worked as the Sous Chef at Naramata Heritage Inn. Aside from cooking, Dave enjoys snowmobiling, downhill mountain biking, dirt biking and cruising on his street bike. Dave is very good at digging his sled out of tree wells - now he has to work on not ending up in them in the first place!

Lindsay Kohlhauser - Baker

Lindsay Kohlhauser - Baker

Lindsay hails from the South Okanagan where she spends her summers working in the wine industry. Having grown up camping, fishing, hunting and paddling, she feels very at home in the mountains of Monashee. Lindsay, as a new and extremely mediocre snowboarder, feels very spoiled to be learning in world-class powder at MPS and is super appreciative of every tailguide that has excavated her from a wipeout. She loves fueling the guests and staff of Monashee for their adventures in the snow.

Samara Weidman - Baker

Samara is from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She moved to BC as a treeplanter, where she worked for many summers both planting and running the food programs in forestry camps. She started here as a housekeeper, and was keen to return to keep snowboarding in our beautiful landscape and share her skills in the kitchen. She has worked in viticulture on the Naramata Bench and studied culinary arts in Burgundy, France.
