He was a doubles specialised who formed a successful partnership with Steffen Wöller during the 1990s and early 2000. He won five medals at the FIL World Luge Championships with one gold (Mixed team: 2000), three silvers (Men's doubles: 2000, 2001; Mixed team: 2001), and one bronze (Men's doubles: 1997).

His best finish at the Winter Olympics was fourth in the men's doubles event at Salt Lake City in 2002.

Skel won the overall Luge World Cup men's doubles title in 2000-1.

Following his retirement from competition, he became a luge coach for the Canadian, German and Swiss federations. In 2013 he was appointed as the coach for the South Korean luge team on a contract running until 2018.

He is married to former skeleton slider Diana Sartor. The couple have two children: Malin and Silas.
