Our reviews
- bj_rnv2019Make the most of your days in the mountain If you wan't to experience the most amazing skiing day ever Piste to Powder is the company to see. They have experienced and knowledgeable guides that know the area by heart. If you love to go off piste, don't miss a day with Piste to Powder! - 2019-03-01read moreread lessNataliaM3890Another great year We have been skiing with piste to powder for a couple of years now, and at the end of every trip we say it would be impossible to have a better one. Yet, they keep getting better.
We skied slopes we hadn't done before and eventhough it was busy and we thought it would be impossible to find good untracked snow, the guides were always able to find untouched galleys with perfect snow conditions. It is the perfect way to make the most out of a good skiing holiday and we will definitely do it again next season. - 2019-03-24read moreread lessCADebbieAwesome experience I figured that if I was going to travel all the way from California to St Anton to ski, I wanted to get the most out of the experience. After spending my first day on the piste with long lines, crowded slopes and spending far too much time looking at the map, I was anxious to get off-piste and away from the crowds. I decided to join an open group level 2 with Piste to Powder and was rewarded with incredible scenery, endless fresh tracks on open bowls and a great guide (Bernie) who knew the mountain well and took us to the best spots that I certainly would never have found or ventured to on my own. I'll admit that a couple of the drop ins and traverses made me go weak at the knees at first glance, but Bernie instilled confidence and was very patient. I enjoyed the small group experience and comradery of like minded skiiers. We were all exhausted at the end of the day but were on a high from the experience. I highly recommend this organization and would go with them again in a heartbeat if I'm ever back in the area. - 2017-02-23read moreread less - Pedro A.Amazing guiding and quick response late at night We organised late at night for a guide the following morning for two high-level freeriders, with early meeting in Lech and free-riding. We were not expecting this kind of guiding in San Anton area, really professional and and hard-charging. - 2019-01-21read moreread lesschristianhW2378MKExtraordinary! Piste To Powder and our guide Florian really showed what a remarkable place St Anton is. Thanks for unforgettable days on the mountain! - 2022-03-28read moreread lessM5869INtombEpic 2 days even with limited visibility Another great few days with Florian - this year one bluebird powder day and one low vis powder day - the latter turned out to surprisingly be the best - found fine visibility runs at top of rendel, through trees, untracked, no one there all day. Epic. Dont let the lack of sun put you off these guys find the runs whatever the weather! - 2019-03-20read moreread less
- Hersh T.Great (safe) fun! A very professional and fulfilling experience. Our guide was Stefan K and led us to a very rewarding day in challenging off-piste conditions. He provided valuable tips and advice in a clear and calm way which contributed to a fun (and safe) day out! - 2017-03-21read moreread lessJan d.My fourth experience with Piste to Powder, second time with Florian. Ok, circumstances were more or less PERFECT, fresh pack of snow and sun, but even then the guide needs to make the right choices. Florian made us all feel comfortable and safe, took us down beautiful slopes, and did push us to do the extra run. Top day! Recommend PtP! - 2019-02-09read moreread lessJohn_snowlifeBEST decision was to be Guided for a week I signed up for the Level 3 Open Group for the Monday. Snow still wasn't deep but the guide found us fun off-piste skiing with some fresh powder. It was so much fun and we went to places I could never find on my own. So I signed up for the whole week and it was the best decision I could have made! Tomas took us over the mountains, down the valleys and through the trees in search for untouched powder and we found loads of it. He was extremely professional and I felt safe at all times with him. Being guided the whole week made all the other expenses of the trip so much more worthwhile. - 2017-01-21read moreread less
- Kmd379Wonderful guides I booked an off piste day with my brother. Our guide Florian was simply amazing. He was so patient and dealt with two people with very different skiing styles brilliantly. The communication prior to the day was excellent and the payment system simple and efficient. I really cannot recommend Piste to Powder enough. Also highlights the importance of equipment and guiding for off piste. We came across an avalanche and two guides from piste to powder immediately organised everyone into efficient and safe search parties. Thankfully no one was hurt but shows how professional and decent they are. - 2019-01-06read moreread lessExplore436710Great touring day!

- Douglas K.Found great snow in difficult conditions I enjoyed two excellent day's skiing with Piste to Powder's guide Tom. In unpromising conditions he found great snow and pushed me to my limits in a way that was challenging but satisfying. I would definitely ski again with Tom if I have the good fortune of returning to St Anton - 2017-03-21read moreread lessJustincarrickFantastic Day with guide Our group contained a mix of skiers and boarders, adults and a child - Tom was able to put together a great day/itinerary that worked for everyone. Technique tuition, safety advice and excellent route selection.
Thanks Piste to Powder, we’ll be back soon! - 2024-02-14read moreread lessFespenGreat guiding experience This year was my second time with PTP, like last time this was a great experience. I had four days guiding with Martin, with his excellent knowledge of the mountains that led to some great powder runs, despite sub-optimal snow conditions. Everything from the website, payment and organizing went flawlessly, and I will definitely come back again. - 2017-01-24read moreread less - Robert S.Off Piste Piste to powder guides were great and the admin team were also. Had some great skiing in a safe environment. - 1970-01-01read moreread lessCathrine L.Super day for me and my ten year old daughter, off piste with our outstanding guide Moriz! He took good care of us and made the day unforgettable! Thanks! - 2019-02-09read moreread lessAnthony P.Professional and knowledgeable guides This was my third booking with the company who are agents for self employed guides. On each occasion the quality of guiding was excellent.
Safety equipment (shovels, probes and transponders) are provided at no additional charge but you may need to bring your own backpack.
The level one courses taken two/three years ago included tuition and exercises to build technique and confidence before going off piste.
The five day, level two "course" took this year had little tuition and plenty of deep snow experience. In spite of limited snow our guide consistently found untracked slopes even if some of the drop offs and traverses were not for the faint hearted.
Take cash for lunch and the occasional taxi back to the lifts. - 2017-02-13read moreread less - Ryan G.The Absolute Best.

It was impressed by Bernhard's ability to bring us amazing skiing, challenging runs all while making safety a top priority. Bernhard regularly told us the safest distance to ski apart, which terrain to avoid and how to handle particularly challenging sections. I highly recommend Piste to Powder!!! - 2018-03-01read moreread lessmalikkamanEpic powder day! We had an absolutely epic day with Phillip. He was incredibly patient with us as new ski touring enthusiasts, and he put us on some awesome snow. SO FLUFFY!!! This despite the fact that the mains resort was a total zoo. His expert knowledge of the mountain meant that we had fresh tracks all day long. - 2024-02-25read moreread less
- Manilba01Deep powder in the forest Two days of tricky conditions but Piste to Powder guides found the right runs: safe, deep snow, not crowded,... another great couple of days enjoying good snow. - 2020-02-05read moreread lessEvan F.Could not recommend more highly We spend a week in Austria and booked 2 days with Piste to Powder. We had such a good experience in the first 2 days, we booked a third. If you want to explore the mountain and ski off piste, this is the way to go. We had an incredible experience. We spent three days with Flo which was amazing, but others in our group had different guides and all had an amazing experience. It made us all want to make it a yearly trip and we will definitely be booking again with piste to powder when we return to the region. - 2024-03-15read moreread lessJavier E.Great guide, great company Stefan is a great guide with responsive creativity and capacity to adapt to differnte ski levels from the ski group.
It was a great week even if conditions off piste were only ideal in the early days of the guiding. He managed to keep everyone with all ages motivated to walk up, skin up and enjoy every run. - 2024-02-19read moreread less - lxmnchGreat Experience Super experience with a knowledgeable guide.

Took a quick family trip to St Anton and was able to sneak away one day with a Piste to Powder guide to go find the off piste awesome secret fresh tracks. Totally worth it!
