Maciej Sulima
Biography
Maciej Sulima grew up in the Karkonosze Mountains in Poland, where skiing was part of life from the beginning. According to his parents, he was already on skis at two years old. While many kids around him focused on racing, Maciej was always drawn somewhere else. Forest lines, powder stashes, and small natural features quickly became his playground. That early love for off piste terrain shaped the skier he is today. Now working as both a freerider and filmmaker, Maciej approaches the mountains from two perspectives. Whether he’s chasing fresh lines through trees or capturing moments behind the camera, his focus stays the same: good snow, good light, and the freedom that comes from exploring the mountains on your own terms.
“Riding is one thing, but filming it is just as exciting for me”– Maciej Sulima
