Pippa Middleton and new beau, Nico Jackson, heat things up as the couple was spotted looking all loved-up during a ski vacation in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

The new couple, who began dating early this year, was photographed sharing a kiss while waiting for a ski lift and posing for silly pictures on the snow.

The two hit the slopes to show off their skills and compete in a 45-mile cross-country ski race. Pippa completed the ski marathon in almost 3 hours, coming in half an hour behind her brother, James.

"I'm not tired at all," Pippa said in an interview as she finished 233rd out of 494 skiers in her class.

Meanwhile, Pippa's proud parents Michael and Carole Middleton waited and cheered on at the finish line, clearly showing their support on the couple's relationship.

The 29-year-old younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge and the 35-year-old stockbroker started dating early this year on a different ski trip, where they joined Duchess Kate Middleton and Prince William for a winter's break on Mustique.

Jackson works at Deutsche Bank in London, and unlike some of her previous beau, is not titled, a graduate of an elite school or even from a wealthy family.

But although Jackson doesn't share the same pedigree as some of Pippa's past partners--investment banker James Matthews and financier and former England cricketer Alex Loudon--it seems his charm and personality has won her heart, and perhaps her family's too.

"Nico comes from a totally different background to Pippa's other boyfriends. But he can run well with the best of them," a friend of Jackson's told London's Daily Mail. He added further, "He is tall, good-looking and has the most amazing piercing blue eyes. He is incredibly charismatic and stands out from the crowd. He is a really good catch. Everyone is after him."

Could he be the one for the royal sister?
