I come from the Czech Republic where skiing is a very popular activity. When I started skiing together with parents and my brother I was around 3 years old and ever since we have gone skiing either in the Czech Republic or in the Alps.
To be able to do this more often I decided to become a ski instructor. I did my first ski instructor exam while I was still studying at university. I spent a few winters teaching skiing and gathering experience in the beautiful mountains in Harrachov, Czech Republic.
The last year at university I got an offer to work in Zell am See, Austria, and took the chance. After finishing my master degree in 2007 I made the decision to not follow this line of work but to spend more of my time in the mountains as a ski instructor.
After meeting Jonas in Zell am See I ended up settling down in this area as well. It was so much fun to work together that we decided to open up this ski school.
I think that you are a very lucky person if you can spend all day doing what you really love. Being able to share this passion with others makes it even more special!
I am a very lucky person!
My passion for skiing started at an early age when I got my first pair of skis. Ever since I was little we tried to find a good place to ski close to my home town. But being from Malmö, Sweden, this was not an easy task.
This is why I finally ended up in Austria surrounded by these beautiful mountains here in Zell am See – Kaprun. I have worked in this region since 1992 being in charge of different departments in various ski schools around.
I was working as a snowboard boss and for many years in charge of one of the the kids ski schools here in Kaprun. Moving on to being the head instructor in Zell am See for a couple of years. After that again leading a kids ski school here in Kaprun.
After I did my last exam in 2001 I went to the ski instructors part of the Mountain guide education right after. Fully certified as “Staatlich geprüfter Skilehrer und Skiführer” (the highest level of education in Austria + a little bit more) in 2002.
I started working as an examiner teaching instructor courses here in Salzburger Land in 2005 and have succesfully done this ever since!
It felt like I needed a new challenge and that is why you are reading these lines. I started this ski school together with my girlfriend Lucie and we hope to be able to make you and your families happy for many years to come!
I wish you all happy skiing!
PS. If you wonder what skiinstructors does in the summer I can tell you. This one is white water rafting and canyoning all summer long!
