Favourite Terrain As playful as it can get… as long as there is something to jump over!

Short Description Nick is the next Powderchase Generation. He´s not only charming but also levels out the Powderchase Backoffice by being relaxed! And when it come´s down to skiing this is the guy to head off with! He does not only know how to ski but also how to jump in style. And if you ever want to drive along in his chic BMW X1 – take along some good music!

Bas

Favourite Terrain Anything – but he loves the adrenaline while riding!
Short Description Mr. Powderchase! Bas initiated and created Powderchase many years ago as a business model in order to avoid private trouble with his former wife who didn’t like his private skiing and snowboarding trips. Bas loves riding – skis, snowboard or bikes. If you meet him: ask him about his 24 hour bike ride on Christmas day!

Martin

Planks Skis
Favourite Terrain Treeruns, wide slopes… really anything
Short Description Martin is a real double talent when it comes to riding in snow! He uses his skis as good as his snowboard.

And if you want someone to experience a very direct answer to any question – this is you man!

Andrea

Planks Skis, Skis, Skis!
Favourite Terrain Any terrain – and it can be technical!
Short Description Andreas Legs are really tough! She is an awesome skier and looks good in ANY terrain. Even Bruchharsch won’t do her any harm.

Favourite Terrain Woods and biiiig slopes
Short Description July is our other young gun -in contrast to Sophie as a snowboarder though! July is a very hospitable guy, loves to be outdoor (even if kicking a soccer ball!) and has a great sense of humor.  If you need a relaxed and funny but never boring moment – THIS is the guy to talk to!

Arno

Planks Snowboard
Favourite Terrain Big and wide slopes
Short Description Arno loves adrenaline sports and wodka lemon! He started snowboarding in the 90ies and tried to convince all the skiing “traitors” to keep up with one board. But now that he´s getting older he also rides on two planks once in a while ☺. During the week Arno works for a Bavarian car company and takes care of his wife and his three sons!

Timo

Planks Skis
Favourite Terrain Pillow Lines
Short Description This handsome devil is not only good looking, but also a crazy good skier and probably one of the nicest guys you can meet. He is a true nature talent when it comes to any sorts of sports. In summer he usually surfs, which is also his inspiration for his skiing style. Besides being a true sporty, Timo is a kind of digital nomad, travelling the world and helping out everybody in need for some SEO on the go.

Anna

Planks Skis
Favourite Terrain Tree Skiing
Short Description Seeing Anna for the first time you might think of a shy, pretty blondie, but you will be proved very different. Anna is a badass skier and in summer big into downhill biking. She is not afraid of anything and definitely has a quick tongue. If you are looking for the funniest chair rides – you should team up with Anna!

Magdalena

Planks Skis! What else?!
Favourite Terrain Everything – from steep couloirs to powder forests

Rudi

Planks Multi diversified
Favourite Terrain Pillows of course!
Short Description Rudi is one of most relaxing guys we´ve even gotten to know. At the same time he is the incarnation of our (so important)  Powderchase group spirit. Beeing caring and easy going is just as important for him as being kinky and making everyone laugh! So if you´re ever worn out after a day of riding – go find some comfort with Rudi!
