Ten years ago we started with the first Dutch Freeride Competition in Goldeck, Austria. It was a fun freeride competition with a lot of good ski & snowboard talents from the Netherlands.
Besides organizing the competition part we started with organizing side events as well. Snowsafety clinics, a freeride test-center and of course some great apres-ski parties followed. It was clear, after a few years this freeride competition grew into a larger freeride festival with a lot of spectators, guides, ski & snowboard brands.
The last three years we organized the Dutch Vertical Skimo (Ski mountaineering) as well. This is a ski tour race on time against each other with a starting point in the village and a finish at Sunny Mountain.
New this year is that we are organizing the official Belgium Freeride Championships as well. We're looking forward to a great edition in Kappl, Austria from 9 to 16 March.
CLINICS & MORE
During this Poederbaas Freeride Festival there are a lot of side activities which you can join as a visitor of this event. We focus on Snowsafety clinics which will be given by our valuable ski & snowboard guides. With their many years of experience they share their knowledge with the visitors and athletes.
Besides the snow safety clinics you can test skies & snowboards from all the big freeride brands. Do you want to learn how to freeride ski or snowboard? Sign up for the freeride clinics and we'll hook you up with one of our guides.
Questions about the program & timings? Wait until the end of November and we will show you when & where to tune in!
