Meet Jan, the ultimate skiing and rock-climbing guru from the Czech Republic. This guy is one of the masterminds behind Snowbusters and Rockbusters. When winter rolls around, Jan shreds the slopes in Austria, always on the hunt for the gnarliest on and off-piste lines. Come summer, he's scaling rock faces like a pro. He's been living and breathing these sports for years, and it shows in his mad skills.
Jan isn't just about the action; he's also got the language game on lock. Fluent in Czech, English, and Spanish, he's been sharing his passion for skiing since 2000. His journey started in Harrachov with JPK, then he hit up Spain's Sierra Nevada with the British Ski Centre and Rio Sport. These days, he's running his trips and courses, teaming up with the Frost ski school in Kaprun.
Ready to shred with Jan? Let's hit the slopes and rock faces together! Shred it deep & steep!
I grew up near some tiny mountains in the Czech Republic and have been skiing since I was a baby. I started with a small ski team in my hometown, then took on the Alps. At 18, I got my first taste of Colorado powder and spent a whole season in Vail and Beaver Creek. Now, I'm stoked to share more epic skiing experiences with you.— Jany
