Mad Dog Ski employs staff in the UK and in the Alps to produce the most up-to-date information possible. If you're interested in joining the Mad Dog team, drop us a line at info@maddogski.com.
Kate Whittaker - Managing director
Kate is the founder and owner of Mad Dog Ski. After a career in the City she swapped commuting for chairlifts and spent two seasons in the Three Valleys in search of the perfect vin chaud. Mad Dog was born out of her passion for all things snowy and her desire to make the most of every minute on the mountain. Kate gets involved in as many aspects of Mad Dog as possible but, for some reason, particularly likes researching new resorts.
Tory Dean - Editorial
Although her background is in law, Tory Dean has loved skiing since she was a teenager and has loved this change in career. She has skied in America and Chile, as well as extensively in Europe. Tory has been working for Mad Dog Ski since September 2004. She has a predominantly editorial role.
Liz Woods - Office manager
Liz joined the team in 2005 and is a new but enthusiastic convert to skiing. Liz is in charge of despatch and accounts.
Laura Rees - Chamonix
Laura is embarking on her third season in Chamonix after swapping a career in marketing in central London for a career in marketing in Chamonix (for Mountain Leap Events http://www.mountainleapevents.com ). Having started off as a skier, Laura switched to snowboarding in 2007 and is now trying to learn fast in order to keep up with her friends! Laura now lives at the foot of the Les Bossons glacier and spends most of her time juggling work with snowboarding, horse riding, mountain biking and watching endless repeats of 'Friends'! Laura is Welsh (and very proud of it) born in Newport but grew up in the USA, Japan and Singapore, returning to the UK in her mid teens. She speaks enough Japanese to order a meal at Satsuki in Chamonix!

Jan-Erik Paul - Les Arcs
After taking up snowboarding 10 years ago to get his ‘extreme’ fix in the winter, Jan-Erik Paul has been doing seasons across the world for the past 5 years (including La Plagne, Whistler, Serre Chevalier & Finland) when his body’s not been ‘in recovery’. When there is no snow, JP can be found either on the water kiteboarding or in the office running E-creation.co.uk, a multimedia & creative agency in Bournemouth. This season, JP will be based in Vallandry, splitting his riding between Les Arcs & La Plagne.
Andy Turner - Morzine
Andy joined the team in 2007 having spent the past three seasons in Morzine. With his partner Sylvie he runs a catered chalet company – Host Savoie Ltd. Prior to setting up the business in Morzine Andy skied several European resorts on various holidays, having learnt to ski in Scotland at a very young age. Some of his best ski days have been on the glaciers of Austria, with Hintertux a favourite summer ski spot. Away from skiing Andy is a dedicated supporter of Sheffield Wednesday and all ‘Alpen-Pop’ music – the cheesier the better!

Until recently, he owned a small hotel in Ramsau near Schladming but has just sold this and bought a house in Schladming. Working for the hotel part time this season as a cook, he spends as much time as possible doing any snow sports (even cross country skiing!!) and this year, is going to start ski touring.

An avid skier and snowboarder, he has been venturing up to Whistler and Blackcomb since the 90s.
