Cristal Butcher

Cristal is Head of Groups at NUCO Travel, spending the past 5 years creating bespoke events and resort managing the largest student snowsports weeks in the alps.

Cristal went on her second-ever ski trip with Cardiff University, caught the bug, and hasn’t stopped since. Joining the NUCO Travel rep team in 2014 so she could study but also still get her fix in the mountains, she began to see her passion for skiing and providing passengers an excellent mountain experience as a career more than a hobby. For the past 5 years, Cristal has been the Head of Events for The Varsity Trip (the largest student snowsport event in the world), has resort managed some of the largest UK & Irish University ski weeks in the Alps, and is also a specialist at marketing and growing a trip. If you’re looking for a special mountain experience, Cristal can create anything from starlit Igloo parties to a 3k-person open-air jungle-themed headliner!
