Meet The Team
Andy and Fran Castle
Founders & Co-DirectorsWhen we started Ski In Luxury in 2005, never did we anticipate growing the company to the scale that we have achieved. We have managed this not only through personal hard work and determination ourselves, but also the pure brilliance and dedication of the team that we have built, every one of whom are passionate about ski. There is such an incredible harmony amongst our team, with everyone pulling together to achieve the common goal….to offer exceptional levels of customer service and experience, building industry leading, easy to navigate websites, this in turn has resulted in us growing the business. Every one of our team is an integral part of the company, each bringing a different dimension. We are so very proud of them all and it is here that we would like to introduce to you the team behind us here at Blue Skies Lifestyle Ltd and Ski In Luxury.

Courchevel
Flying into Courchevel by helicopter, being met by a skidoo and heading straight up to Cave des Creux for fondue and charcuterie on their sunny terrace. A great start to an amazing ski trip.

Verbier
Dancing on tables with my family in Austria when it was foggy. Witnessing my parents bust a move in their ski boots was definitely worth the lost ski hours!

Family ski holidays as a small child. A favourite was Samoens and the Grand Massif, with Piste des Cascades being a highlight!

Chamonix
I have been very lucky to have spent Christmas Day in the Alps a few times. One of my favourite Christmas Days was a bubbly brunch followed by a trip up the Aiguille du Midi and an afternoon ski – who needs presents!?

Skier - but can venture to the dark side of snowboarding on the odd occasion!
Les Arcs - one of the best off-piste days of my life there!
I was the UK Dry slope ski champion for several years.

One season working in Serre Chevalier formed a band with a friend. We were called Leroy and the Sunshine Kid and played at The Grotte in Villeneuve.

I'm a skier and a snowboarder! ⛷🏂
Samoens
I arrived at my intended resort, skied one day and then decided to snowboard instead. I then spent the rest of the week's holiday driving between resorts trying to find the best snow. Ending up visiting France, Italy and Switzerland within the week!

Mine has to be conquering my first black run! Skiing in Whistler when I was younger and making it down the piste without embarrassing myself... I was oh so proud! 😎

In Pila, where I learnt to become a ski instructor, sat in the sun on Christmas Day with a pint in hand while wearing a Santa suit after a busy morning of skiing.

Madonna di Campiglio
When me and my brother were little we accidentally took a black run instead of a blue one! Scary, but an experience I'll never forget!

Skiing solo on the 22k top-to-bottom run in Cervinia. Perfect snow, bluebird skies, and not a single fall the whole way down! 😊
