PowderGuide on site at the Freeride Testivals
PowderGuide will be on site at the four stops of the Freeride Testivals this winter together with our cooperation partner Penguin with a stand, which has been aptly named The Powder Collective. The first stop will take place from tomorrow, January 23 to 25, 2026 in Hochfügen. The stand is the central hub for the community and offers much more than just an exchange of information and a betting game. You can find more info here.
PowderGuide.com is also a weather partner of the Freeride Testivals and without giving away any big secrets: the snow conditions are below average and unfortunately not much fresh snow is forecast for the Zillertal today. There could be some precipitation in the form of snow on Sunday, but unfortunately it will probably be small to cosmetic amounts. Unfortunately, sunshine will be swallowed up by 98% cloud cover, but we're sure that the atmosphere will still be great under the clouds!
Winter in the Northern Alps and Hochfügen could show itself again by the middle of next week, but as our meteorologists and the PowderAlert oracle would say: any forecast more than 72 hours in advance is pure crystal ball reading! In any case, we're keeping our fingers crossed that our model is wrong here and that more precipitation will fall before then.
Snow depth prediction game in Hochfügen
The PowderGuide snow depth prediction game is usually called out with every PowderAlert: Everyone bets on the amount of new snow that will fall at a weather station by the end of the alert. Since this winter, the prediction game has been played in a slightly modified version at various events where PowderGuide is on site. At the FreerideFilmFestival in Innsbruck at the beginning of November there was already a lot of betting going on. This weekend, the prediction game for the first stop of the Freeride Testival 2026 will be played.
