If you snooze you lose, the mountains make sure of this.

I am a skier.

Favourite Resorts: Crans-Montana and Val d'Isère.

Ski Seasons: 1 in Val d'Isère, over 10 years in Crans-Montana & Méribel. 

Favourite Properties: Chalet Grace in Zermatt and Chalet Bear in Klosters.

Favourite Lunch & Après: Chetzeron in Crans-Montana has the best local food and panoramic views (make sure you have room for pudding). Martinis in Le Farinet, Verbier certainly keep the ski legs going a little longer.

My Tip:  You can never stop learning and this is particularly true when it comes to skiing. Always budget for a ski instructor or guide, you will get so much more out of your holiday. 

There is more to a Winter holiday than just skiing. After a morning on the slopes, I can think of nothing better than a well deserved, long lunch with a vin chaud inside a cosy mountain restaurant or a glass of wine on the terrace in Spring!

I am a skier and a boarder. 

Favourite Resorts: Morzine, Courchevel and Zermatt.

Ski Seasons: 2 in Courchevel 1850 and 1 in La Plagne.

Favourite Properties: Lapin Blanc in Meribel, Gentianes in Courchevel 1850 and Baby Bear in Chamonix.

Favourite Lunch & Après: A long lunch at Le Cap in Courchevel is a must and après-ski at Le Rond-Point in Meribel. 

My Tip: Buy a good 'shell' jacket as you can layer up for all conditions whether it's heavy snow and sub-zero in January or spring snow and bright sunshine in April. 

With a passion for travel, sport and adventure I have been lucky enough to experience the amazing skiing that can be found in Canada & North America as well as Europe. Working here gives me the perfect opportunity to help you experience the same!

I am a skier.

Favourite Resorts: Breckenridge, Colorado, Banff/Lake Louise in Canada and the Portes du Soleil region in France.

Ski Seasons: 1 in Breckenridge and 1 in Banff/Lake Louise. 

Favourite Properties: Fairmont Chateau in Lake Louise and Hotel Nira Alpina in St. Moritz. 

Favourite Lunch & Après:  Mi Casa Mexican in Breckenridge, perfect for après margaritas and delicious nachos.

My Tip: When in Aspen or Lake Louise take advantage of the mountain hosts for free ski guiding, fantastic friendly volunteers who provide some great facts and history on the mountains as well as taking you to the best slopes for the conditions that day!

As someone who has to start planning their next holiday as soon as they return from the last one, and as someone passionate about exploring new places (preferably in luxury and style!), running OS Private Travel (our summery sister company) is my dream job.  The importance of an amazing holiday should never be underestimated!

I am a skier (and villa expert!)

Favourite Resorts: Verbier and Zermatt in Winter. Marrakech and the Cote d'Azur in summer.

Ski Seasons: 1 in Zermatt

Favourite Properties: Chalet Grace in Zermatt, C-View in Cap Ferrat, Villa Uno in Ibiza

Favourite Lunch & Apres:  Cervo in Zermatt - after extensive research I can say it's the best Gluhwein in town and you must try the Cervo fries! Lunch at Club 55, St Tropez for the sheer spectacle.

My Tip:  Alpine resorts can be just as special in summer and are the perfect solution for a luxury family holiday. You can do as much or as little as you like...hike or bike to a picnic in a summer meadow, enjoy a round of golf or try a specialist yoga or nutrition break.

My most important office duties include chasing Saffron first thing in the morning, sleeping on my back so I am in the way of everyone, and pulling my puppy dog eyes when I want to go for a walk!

I am a dog.

Owner: Sarah Kitching.

Favourite spot: My office bed.

Favourite time of day: Any time of day I get food.

Party Trick: I am particularly good at chasing my own tail.

I have always believed that skiing is a means of transportation to and from lunch...I am the person you need to speak to about finding the perfect terrace spot for a fine Alpine lunch!

I am a skier.

Favourite Resorts: Crans-Montana, Val d'Isère and Whistler.

Ski Seasons: 6 in Crans Montana, 2 in Meribel.

Favourite Properties: Ferme de Moudon in Les Gets and the Residences at The Four Seasons Whistler.

Favourite Lunch & Après: Signal in Val d'Isère for lunch and the infamous après at La Folie Douce, Val d'Isère (and now also in Val Thorens and Méribel).

My Tip: Invest in your own pair of ski boots, even if you only ski 6 days a year...go that extra step and get a custom fit pair from SureFoot. 

I love how invigorated and excited a snowy mountain vista can make you feel. I have been lucky enough to visit and stay in many of the properties we feature. Experiencing all these luxuries makes finding the perfect hotel for you no trouble. 

I am a skier.

Favourite Resorts: Aspen, Colorado, Zermatt, Banff/Lake Louise, Canada.

Ski Seasons: 1 in Banff and Panorama, Canada. 

Favourite Properties: Sky Hotel in Aspen, Hotel Matthiol in Zermatt and the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek

Favourite Lunch & Après:  The Buffalo Bar in the Ritz-Carlton, Beaver Creek for all-American chicken wings, nachos and beer. Après in the Sky Hotel, Aspen for cocktails, hot tubs and zebra print robes!

My Tip:  In Aspen make use of the ski storage and transfer service; drop your skis at the base of the mountain after skiing and have them transferred to another mountain of your choice overnight! This means no walking through town with skis on your shoulder. You can go straight off to experience the glitz and glamour that downtown Aspen has to offer! 

I was first plonked on skis at the age of three and was sent down the mountain after my older brother and sister. Since then I have developed a great love of skiing and being in the mountains. I think ski holidays are better than any other holiday and I love helping people plan their trips and making them as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.      

I am a skier although I have snowboarded in the past. 

Favourite Resorts: Verbier, La Plagne, Val d'Isere & Whistler

Ski Seasons: 1 in Verbier and 1 in Les Carroz.

Favourite Properties: Gentianes in Courchevel 1850 and Bella Coola in Verbier

Favourite Lunch & Après: Le Rouge, Verbier for a long lunch and then staying there for the après too. 

My Tip: In Verbier, go for dinner up the mountain at Chez Dany. Enjoy a traditional Swiss fondue, a couple of bottles of local wine and then toboggan back down the pistes.

Having spent a lot of my school holidays in the Algarve and Madeira with my Portuguese Grandfather hotelier, I like to think I have travel and hospitality is in my blood. As someone who likes to spend 50% of a holiday lying horizontally in a beautiful sundrenched location, and the other 50% soaking up the culture, OS Private Travel really is a job I am passionate about.

I am a villa expert. 

Favourite Resort: 

Any Greek Island, Tagomago Island in Ibiza (for the sheer chic of it!) and of course, The Algarve.

Favourite Properties: La Fraissinede, Languedoc, and Riad Farnatchi, Marrakesh

My Tip: The Algarve isn't just about golf and pottery, this popular holiday destination has some of the safest and gorgeous beaches in Europe. My personal favourite being Praia da Marinha, this beach is not only recognised for its beautiful cliffs and golden sand, but also for the high quality of the water. 

I come to the office on Tuesdays and am quite a good distraction! My favourite friend is Will (although he teases me and steals my toys). Saffron doesn't like me very much....yet. 

I am a dog.

Owner: Laura Willing

Favourite spot: Chewing wires under the table.

Favourite time of day: First thing in the morning, running round the office at high speed.

Party Trick: I am the queen of 'puppy dog eyes.'
