April 2013 – Lofoten Special

To do a Special Powderchase has been on our wishlist for a long time. We wanted to offer the chance to go ride in an überspecial place to some dedicated Powderchasers. A place that might be a little ‘of the beaten path’ and even a little more expensive to go to, but due to it’s...

March 2013 – St. Moritz/Diavolezza

This Powderchase once again proved that every one is different in character. Sometimes it’s hard to find proper snow, but this time the snow was right there. Sometimes it’s hard to find mountain guides that keep our groups safe and find the best descents, but we found them in no time for this weekend. We...

March 2013 – Arabba/Dolomiten

We can’t deny that we have a few favourite Powderchase spots, that each have their own character. Krippenstein is a demanding lady that will show you the most amazing terrain, but you’ve got to work for it! Engelberg is like a mellow Scandinavian lady (even though the place is in Switzerland), a beatiful area with...

January 2013 – Arabba/Dolomites

It happens very rarely, but the snow conditions called for the Powderchase to take place two consecutive times in the same spot, Arabba in the Italian Dolomites. The North side seemed pretty bleak after some heavy föhn-induced warmth had turned all powder to crust. The southside of the Alps had remained nice and cold and...

January 2013 – BMW Powder Ride Film & Photo workshop

  An exceptional POWDERCHASE! This time we were not only looking for the best powder. For this first Film & Photo workshop, exclusively accesible to BMW Powder Ride foxtail owners, the selected location had to double as a backdrop for pictures and film. Luckily all the weather models were predicting snow for the Southern Alps...

January 2013 – Sonnenkopf / Stuben

Wow! Wow, wow, wow! That’s the dominant feeling after this first Powderchase of 2013. Everything, and we mean literally everything, fell into place for this trip. Snow, location and weather. And above all a solid crew of Powderchasers, comprised of German and Dutch riders and one occasional American and German freeski photographer Anton Brey. Warm-up...

January 2012 – St. Anton

- This text was written bij Dirk Herpel who joined us for the first time last year. He is a German Powderchase participant and he works as an editor/copywriter in his daily life. He sent us this very enthusiastic report about ‘his’ Powderchase and we thought it was fun to share with you. Powderchase will...
March 2009 - Planneralm / Krippenstein

March 2009 – Planneralm / Krippenstein

This was clear straight from the start: this was going to be a deep one! To stay away from heavy avalanche issues, we decided to head to the smaller Planneralm area for our warm-up day. One of the highest ski towns in Austria. High enough for the local mountain hut to actually be in the...

January 2009 – Grand Saint Bernard

In the run-up to the actual POWDERCHASE the snowforecasting was rather tricky, but finding suitable accomodation mountain guides was even harder. Apparently the Swiss Valais region doesn’t have a bunch of group accomodations. Finally we found a group house in the mini skiresort of Les Marécottes that we could rent out all to ourselves, it...
December 2008 - St. Moritz

December 2008 – St. Moritz

The first real Powderchase we ever organised. And boy, did we get spoiled! We ended up heading to St. Moritz that received one of it’s best season starters in years with already about one and a half to two meters on the ground. Over the course of the weekend we received an additional half meter...
