The people that own and run Venture Ski are not only keen skiers but are dedicated to developing a successful business devoted to customer service. Founded by Peter Duke and joined shortly afterwards by Mark Livesey, Venture Ski has grown into Sainte Foy's largest provider of luxury catered ski chalet holidays.
Formerly a Captain in the Armed Air Corps, Peter served in the first Gulf War flying combat helicopters. After a decade in the Services he went on to qualify as an FCCA (Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) becoming the Finance Director of a major IT company. Peter is the founder and driving force behind Venture Ski and he lives in Buckinghamshire with his partner Rachel and their six children! You may have seen them on Virgin 1 channel when they won the Restaurant in our Living Room TV series.
Mark lived in the Far East for over twelve years and has a career spanning over 19 years in sports marketing. Before Venture Ski, he spent ten years in Sir Frank Williams’ Formula One & Touring Car racing teams, in charge of several aspects of their marketing. In his spare time he loves flying helicopters, mountain biking, is a PADI Divemaster and LTA tennis coach. Whenever he gets the opportunity, Mark enjoys taking guests through the on and off-piste ski runs around the mountain in Sainte Foy.
Not just friends, but a team of like-minded business people whose passion for skiing and love of sun, fun, the outdoors and especially a bit of luxury, has led them to form a dynamic company dedicated to giving you the best customer service and holiday experience they can: Venture Ski.
The UK Office
 
Julian Victoria
Our Customer Service desk is always open and ready to answer your questions as soon as possible. To make sure your holiday preparations are all in-hand is Julian Preston. Julian did his first season in the French Alps in Val d'Isere, but then discovered the untracked powder and uncrowded pistes of Sainte Foy. Since he joined us in 2006, Julian has been based in the UK, but we do occasionally let him back out to the resort!
At the heart of the service we strive to deliver each season is the resort team and the person who spends most of her time planning, recruiting and administering some 30 team members and interviewing nearly 500 candidates for ski season jobs each year is Victoria Scott. If you are interested in working as a ski season chef, chalet host, nanny, driver, masseuse or ski host, just drop a line to victoria.scott@ventureski.co.uk.
