SZCZEPAN KARPIEL-BULECKA

Szczepan is our first and only Polish skier on the team. Don’t feel bad, we didn’t know there were mountains or skiing there either. If you aren’t Polish, you’re probably having just as difficult of a time figuring out how to pronounce his name as we did. It’s “sha-pon”. He was born in Zakopane into a family of musicians and was considered the “black sheep” for being the only skier in the fam. He helps build his local terrain park and travels, films, and competes around the world throughout the season. Szczepan is a great addition to our team with smooth style and a deep, infectious love for skiing.
