Claude was born 40 years ago in Danville, Quebec. He spent ten winter seasons in the tourism business in a beautiful spot above the arctic circle in Sweden, called Riksgransen. In '98 he moved back to Canada and decided that Fernie would be his home for the years to come.

Lillis was born and raised in Sweden. She came to Canada for the first time for the winter of '96/97, after having so much fun she had to return for the next winter season, (the skiing was unbelievable). She fell in love with both Fernie and Claude, and decided to her family's regret to stay. Together we speak all the Scandinavian languages, English, French, und ein bischen Deutch.
