Penzberg

Autumn has brought us several weeks of beautiful high-pressure weather and has melted away most of the snow from September, but winter is slowly picking up speed again. Time to pay a visit to the Sport Conrad shop in Penzberg. The shop covers over 2000 square metres and focuses on freeride, alpine skiing, ski touring, snowboarding and splitboarding, especially in winter. Sebastian is already waiting for us, he has been working as a salesman at Sport Conrad for several years.

Sport Conrad is a partner of PowderGuide and has almost everything we would still need in our equipment cupboard. But Sport Conrad also cares about safety and invites us to the Snow Safety Days. On Friday in Penzberg, you can inspect new avalanche safety equipment with advice and in the evening, experts will give talks on tour preparation, risk management and weather forecasts. On Saturday, we'll then head up to the Zugspitze with mountain guides to put theory into practice.

Toni and I (Klara) are visiting Sport Conrad with the mission of getting advice on ski boots. We want to pass on to you, what to look out for when making a purchase. Most people are probably familiar with Sport Conrad as an online ski retailer, but it originated as a family business over 128 years ago from a specialised cobbler's shop.

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.
