City kid gone powder hound. Adam went from a 400 m Czech hill with one rope tow to the Austrian heavyweights and the Swiss peaks, and now coaches and shoots for Snowbusters.

City kid
gone pow-pow wild
Adam might’ve been born with concrete under his feet, but dude was clearly supposed to be shredding mountains. While other kids were playing video games, this Czech grom was already plotting his escape to the hills.
His first taste of the stoke? Bombing down a tiny 400m “mountain” (more like a speed bump with ambition) with his cousins. One janky rope tow, zero fancy amenities, 100% pure stoke. That little hill didn’t know it was creating a monster.
Racing gates? Adam gave it a shot, but homeboy quickly realized that being told where to turn is like being told when to breathe—hard pass. Instead, he went full powder hound, ditching the corduroy for that sweet, sweet untouched fluff. From first chair to last light, if there’s snow to slash, Adam’s there sending it.
This dude’s mountain evolution has taken him from those cute little Czech bumps to Austrian heavyweights and all the way to the gnarly Swiss peaks that’ll make your knees weak just looking at them. And he didn’t just survive—he thrived.
When Adam’s not face-planting in champagne powder (which happens to the best of us, let’s be real), he’s flexing his Sport Management and Photography skills. But these days, you’ll find him dropping knowledge as part of our instructor crew, teaching clients how to get rad while keeping all their limbs intact—a skill we highly recommend.
Wanna experience the mountains through a powder junkie’s eyes? Adam’s your guy. Just don’t challenge him to a “who can eat snow faster” contest. Spoiler alert: he always wins.
