Fotowettbewerb

After a season of absence, the big photo competition is back on PowderGuide. This time it will take place on Instagram and will once again select the photo of the week and the overall winners.

Winter is already in full swing and Ullr has already given us plenty of presents this December. Of course, we don't want to be left out just in time for Christmas!

Winter has now arrived in most of the Alps and we are once again organizing a photo competition this year, in which not only a photo of the week will be chosen every week, but there will also be three main prizes at the end!

My eyelids are as heavy as lead, I'm sitting in the bathroom scrubbing my teeth. It's just after 12 and we've just come back from our night tour. I'm sitting there, enjoying the view over the illuminated San Martino di Castrozza and asking myself "were those our best shots yet - do we even stand a chance with them?" The boys are already relaxed in bed and listening to Jeremy Jones talking about the unique lines on Svalbard, raving about lots of snow and good conditions - hopefully we'll find them tomorrow.

From February 22nd to 24th, the sleepy Trentino village of San Martino di Castrozza at Passo Rolle became the base camp for the predominantly Italian-speaking freeride community. Ten pro teams, consisting of two well-known freeriders and a photographer, as well as lots of WANNABES and amateur photographers dropped, turned, photographed and smiled on the two days in February. All on the hunt for the freeride shot of the future king of the Dolomites. Contest participant Hanna Finkel was there for PowderGuide.

And the Oscar goes to... The first PowderGuide photo contest of the 2011 season is over. Over 40 submissions, hundreds of Facebook likes and a jury that literally tore its hair out: That was the first photo contest of 2011, theme: landscape, mood and ski tour.
