ZERMATT / SWITZERLAND

PDS Snowsport — Simon

Close partners. Good friends. A whole season on snow.

The story behind
the recommendation.

PDS and I work together throughout the ski season, bringing you the latest from Zermatt and St. Moritz. Simon, Meli and Jason are close partners and good friends, and that relationship is at the heart of the content we create together.

Simon and PDS are woven into my Zermatt skiing. For me, a good day with an instructor combines useful feedback with the confidence to explore more of the mountain. That is why I point people towards Simon when they ask who I ski with.

Simon’s PDS profile lists skiing, adaptive skiing, cross-country and coaching, with Zermatt, Verbier and St. Moritz among his resorts. He is one of the founders and directors of PDS Snowsport Switzerland. My film introduces the person behind the recommendation.

Tell the team where you are skiing, who is coming, your current level and what you want to work on. A family lesson, a technical coaching session and a day discovering unfamiliar pistes can need different plans. Ask for Simon, and tell him Adam sent you.

PDS Snowsport — Simon — FROM MY MOUNTAIN JOURNEY

ADAM × SIMON × PDS / THE ZERMATT CHALLENGE

Every marked piste.
Two days.
Two minutes to spare.

Simon, the PDS crew and I took on one of my biggest ski challenges: skiing every marked piste in Zermatt in just two days.

Blue, red, black and yellow runs, with the clock always ticking. It was a chance to explore the mountain with the PDS team, put their local knowledge to work and share the whole experience as it happened. We finished with just two minutes to spare.

The films bring you onto the slopes with us: full descents, original on-snow commentary, Matterhorn views, steep sections and the moments that do not go quite to plan—including Simon’s crash on Rotweng. This is the skiing behind my recommendation, rather than just a list of places to visit.
