 Poster: A snowHead
|

Anyone got any recommendations of guides for off-piste boarding in St Anton? Likely to be able to get enough people together for a group of at least four. Any requirements for having avalanche safety gear?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Digging up this old thread while searching for answers.
What is the latest for recommendations on St Anton guides? I am going to be in St Anton by myself for 1 week. I'm an expert snowboarder with 8 seasons experience and very fit. Looking at joining a group to do some off piste runs. Have all my own equipment.
Last year, I was with Power Club which was a fun group to get with but that was for just one day. I might join their week but unsure - http://www.powderclub.at/en/camps/freeride-camp.html

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I would recommend against piste to powder. They used to be fantastic but have been very disappointed in the last two trips done with them.
We were supposed to be in a level 4 group but ended up with two skiers who whilst very nice we're not very good. It meant we could not ski a number of runs and was extremely frustrating.
The two guys had skied with P2P earlier in the week so they knew their ability. They didn't want to have two smaller groups of 3/4 as that would reduce their profits per group so put two together.
Very shoddy

You'll need to Register first of course.

P2P won't take a single snowboarder in their groups IIRC, you'd have to have a private which would need more people. Have a look at some of the smaller schools, eg Arlberg Boardriders, St Anton Classic, see what they offer. Otherwise you'd probably be looking at Powder Club again.

Oh I had a thread about this in if piste a few years ago - and went with the suggested guide. Let me see if I can find it.

I had a fun day with him in 2013, contracted him in advance and he put me in with two other people to make a group. Although the snow conditions weren't great he found some nice stuff to do, although it was quite mellow.

I've tried abc but they only do private sessions.
Piste to powder don't do group snowboard sessions.
Looks like powder club is the only option but I'll check at the local tourist office to see what is available too.
Are there any locals keen to go off piste?

I'll be in Ischgl the week before and keen to do any off piste but it seems to be more tame over there
