Jakub Staško
Jakub was born in the bear-ridden mountains of north Slovakia some 30 years ago! His grandpa put him on skis at the late age of 3, but as soon as He saw the crazy new sport called snowboarding on the TV in the early 90s he abandoned the skis until they got cool again in the late 00s. He says its not about the shape under your feet, but about sliding down! Jacob can speak many languages and is keen to share his knowledge in English, Slovakian, German and Russian.

Why did you choose to teach skiing?
I chose to teach skiing because I love skiing and being in the mountains. I grew up in the mountains both in winter and summer, skiing, cycling and hiking. I love being able to share my passion with others and watch them progress and fall in love with the sport. Once you start skiing you will love it forever.
What do you do in the summer?
For four years I travelled between Zermatt and Mt Buller Resort in Australia, chasing the winters in each hemisphere. For the past four years I have lived in Zermatt year-round, which I love. Summer in Zermatt is almost as amazing as winter – I spend my days hiking, road cycling, mountain biking, climbing, and much more. I would highly recommend a trip to Zermatt in the summer as well as winter.
Why did you choose Zermatt?
Zermatt is a very special ski resort that takes everyone’s breath away. The skiing is fantastic, the scenery is mesmerising, the village is beautiful and the whole resort has a magical charm. The weather in Zermatt is brilliant, and there are plenty of amazing restaurants, bars and spas to relax in after a day’s skiing. To top it off, we have the Matterhorn, and even after 8 years I can still never have enough photos of it.
