Favorite mountains.

SZYMON STYRCZULA-MAŚNIAK

I have a few places that I like to come back to. BC in Canada is definitely one of those places I highly recommended for quality powder skiing. For more adventurous and ski mountaineering oriented missions I really enjoy Andes.

MAJESTY

Home Spot.

SZYMON STYRCZULA-MAŚNIAK

My favourite place to ski is my home spot, Tatra Mountains. Those are small but sharp mountains with alpine character. You can find steep couloirs and open faces. Access is very good and as long as winter is snowy we can easily ski till April.

MAJESTY

Your first experience with skis.

SZYMON STYRCZULA-MAŚNIAK

I grew up skiing in my backyard on wooden skis with strap bindings. I never had any racing background but since I was a kid my grandfather use to take me up with him into the mountains. He was a ranger in national park so naturaly we use spent a lot of time up there. Growing up with those experiences and watching ski movies made me a skier I am now.
