PowderGuide

PLUM was founded in 2005 in the heart of the Chamonix Valley and has continued to develop ever since. The passionate family business has its roots in the mountains and combines the expertise of precision mechanics and wood tuners with a deep connection to skiing and snowboarding.

Hohohoho ! It's St. Nicholas Day and if you survived the Krampus yesterday, you can pick up your St. Nicholas present today!

The prize includes all services of the ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE, but without accommodation and meals.

The PowderGuide team arrived back home after two exciting and long days and have now had time to process their first impressions. The trend that has developed in the outdoor scene over the last few years continued this year. The absence of ski and snowboard manufacturers was apparent. Nevertheless, one or two were represented, which we naturally visited and were able to discover a few new products. In the outdoor textile sector, things looked a little different and virtually no brand missed the presentation at ISPO. As in previous years, there were three platforms on which the new products, trends and innovations were presented: ISPO Awards, ISPO Textrends and ISPO Brandnew.

The forecasts for winter are good, the snow is here and Christmas is just around the corner. This year there are a few experiences for you to win! There's a new competition for you every week of Advent. It's worth taking part!

New site, new look, new faces behind the facades. We would now like to introduce ourselves and offer you a look behind the scenes at PowderGuide. Who actually does what here?

Dear PowderGuide Community, today we would like to introduce you to our new partner; Sport Conrad. We are very proud of it and there is a lot to tell. Sport Conrad is the largest online ski retailer in Europe, but comes from a family business that has been convincing with its craftsmanship and advice for 128 years and has always been one step ahead of its time.

PowderGuide will be at ISPO again this year and will be visiting the most important, most beautiful and most innovative new products of the season for you. The PowderGuide team will take a thorough look around the trade fair in Munich and of course ask you a few questions. SPECIAL: This year you also have the opportunity to put your questions directly to the manufacturers via us!

Our new website will be online from Wednesday to Thursday. During this time, no articles or CRs can be published and the site will be partially down.

Parts of the Amer Sports Group (Atomic, Salomon and Armada) initiated a voluntary and precautionary recall of some touring bindings in October 2023.

What is the great joy of skiing? Every person would answer this question differently, but we all share the joy of skiing. One person is particularly good at sharing his joy with others. Henry, known as the legend "Snowflake" from Engelberg, takes us with him this season and shows us his winter world.

In 2022, the Ortovox Avabag LiTRIC system was one of the innovations at the ISPO fare. At just 1100 grams, it is lightweight, technically sophisticated and reliable and enables at least two releases with just one charge. Ortovox even won the ISPO Award and the Red Dot Design Award for it.
