In the newest of our ‘Meet The Team’ posts, today we find out more about Tim Heal, owner of Chaletline.co.uk.
I joined the travel industry back in the 80’s working for various tour operators in Bromley – my home town. Always a keen skier, I eventually landed an overseas ski job in Colorado.
Returning to the UK I worked several more years in ski before starting Chaletline in 1999. We are based in Tavistock – a beautiful market town on the edge of Dartmoor. You are welcome to drop in and see us if you are ever down this way – many of our customers do.
I relocated to the South West in 2002 and now live on the Devon/Cornwall border with my wife Sam and our 3 daughters (all the ladies in my family ski better than Dad!).
How long have you been working for Chaletline.co.uk?
15 years
What is your favourite ski resort and why?
This is a tough one to narrow down. I love skiing in USA and lived in Vail for a while, but I also adore other North American resorts, such as Jackson Hole. I return to St Anton and Val d’Isere frequently and I never leave disappointed!
Have you worked any ski seasons?
Yes, in Vail.
Skier or snowboarder?
100% skier.
What’s your favourite movie?
True Romance
What are you most looking forward to about winter 2013/14?
Heavy snowfall
