Skiboy is a British action TV-Series produced and created by Derrick Sherwin and Charles de Jaeger. The series ran for 13 episodes from 13 May 1974 to 5 August 1974 on ITV before being cancelled. The entire series was filmed at the mountainous location of Saint-Luc in Switzerland, where the plots for the episodes mostly center around dramatic events in the mountains.

During the 1960s and 70s, ITC Entertainment was responsible for producing ITV's numerous television series with plots concerning fantasy, science-fiction, and action. At the beginning of 1973, Derrick Sherwin, with the help of Dennis Spooner, developed an idea based on action and skiing, which was starting to become an extremely popular sport at this time. As for finding a location to film, Charles de Jaeger proposed to Sherwin that the ideal place would be in one of the most traditional villages of the Val d'Anniviers, in Saint-Luc. After having filmed the series successfully in the mountainous region in the winter of 1973–74, the double-length pilot episode, "Mountain Witch" was released on 13 May 1974.
