Adam learned how to ski at the age of 6. Very soon after that he decided that one day he must become a ski instructor. At the age of 23 he became a certified ski instructor and started teaching in his home country, Slovakia. Traveling was also his hobby, so he decided to teach skiing all over the world. Besides Slovakia, he taught in Canada, Australia and Switzerland.
Adam is happy to teach all styles of skiing to all age groups and levels. Skiing moguls and freestyle with his friends are his favourite free time activities. He speaks fluent English, basic German, Slovak, Czech and a little bit of Polish.
Why did you choose teaching?
To share my passion for this sport, to help people forget about their work and enjoy the freedom on skis.

Adam was a phenomenal instructor. Our kids loved their days with him and made great improvements. Most importantly, he made sure they had a great time. He was super patient and polite. He had a great way to break things down to help improve everyone’s skiing.
He also was of great help for myself, a strong intermediate, to improve my skills on the bumps and in poor visibility.
Can’t recommend him enough!

Adam is a brilliant instructor. He is patient and calm and happy to explain everything carefully especially if you don’t get it the first time! He is very good technically and really helped me to improve. I’ll definitely be back.

Adam was our ski guide and concierge while we were in Zermatt over Easter. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was a fantastic instructor, really connecting with our kids and really bringing their skiing on by making the lessons fun. He also guided the adults for a couple of days and and some great tips even for the better skiers. Nothing was too much trouble for him, be it booking restaurants, organising pick ups, guiding us to Italy, and he made the whole week run super smoothly. He was a pleasure to chat to at lunch. Will definitely be looking him up next time we are in Zermatt!

Adam was our ski instructor over the Christmas Holiday in 2022/2023 and he made our trip very enjoyable and rewarding! Adam is an exceptional ski instructor, in every aspect and facet of the ski experience. Adam is very skilled and technical and instructs in easy ways to understand and implement. He has a very relaxed and friendly demeanor, which made it so easy and fun for my family of 5 to enjoy our ski experience. Not only is Adam great and personable with adults/parents, he’s very good with kids. His patience and ability to relate to kids made my kids relax and have fun skiing even when things got challenging. I HIGHLY recommend Adam as a ski instructor/guide to anyone who’s looking for a great ski experience of learning, having fun, and enjoying a good conversation with a great guy!
