Your partner in year-round snow experiences

Our story

PearlSnow was born out of real-world frustration and first-hand experience. For years, ski instructor and mountain operations expert Steven Hager trained young skiers in the Swiss Alps, only to see perfect training conditions melt away due to unpredictable weather and short seasons.

Rather than accept those limits, Steven set out to change them.

Through years of hands-on testing, product development, and collaboration with global partners, PearlSnow was founded to solve a simple but powerful problem: how can we make snow sports better, longer, and more accessible, without compromising on quality?

Today, PearlSnow is one of the fastest-growing synthetic snow companies in Europe, with projects ranging from grassroots community slopes to elite freestyle and racing facilities.

What We Believe

We believe in snow without compromise.

We believe every child should feel the thrill of sliding for the first time. Every athlete should be able to train whenever they want. And every resort should have the freedom to offer winter joy regardless of climate, cost, or carbon footprint.

That’s why we build surfaces that last, slide like real snow, and are easy to maintain.

What We Do

Develop and supply premium synthetic snow surfaces that mimic the real thing
Design modular slope systems for beginners, pros, or full resort extensions
Help clients plan, build, and run projects that actually work year-round
Support coaches, trainers, and operators with hands-on expertise

From Olympic-level athletes to kids trying skis for the first time, PearlSnow products help turn ambition into reality.

Steven is responsible for how PearlSnow is applied in real-world conditions. With over 20 years of experience as a certified ski instructor and mountain operations specialist in the Swiss Alps, he understands exactly what works once a surface is used day in, day out by riders, coaches and operators.

He works closely with resorts and partners to translate PearlSnow into setups that perform in practice, with a strong focus on ride feel, safety, operational usability and long-term durability. Steven’s role is to make sure PearlSnow delivers where it truly matters: on the slope.

Tomas is responsible for the strategic direction and long-term development of PearlSnow. With a background in building and scaling international action sports companies, his focus is on clarity, structure and sustainable growth.

He leads brand positioning, partnerships and system development, ensuring PearlSnow evolves into a reliable and scalable solution for resorts worldwide. Tomas’ role is to connect product, market and vision, and to keep PearlSnow commercially strong while staying true to its purpose: enabling progression-focused winter sports, even when natural snow becomes less reliable.
