No, unfortunately, there is no powder guarantee, but we have done our utmost to select destinations that are often blessed with alot of powder. On each trip we also do our best to select the best powder areas day by day. Also, freeriding is not only about powder. It is about adventure, calm nature and time spent with people sharing your passion. That said, we do love powder!

The size of the groups depends on the trip, but the groups normally consist of 10-15 people. We, Eastern Snow, weigh the social aspects of skiing high. Therefore we do not want to large groups and we always plan for opportunities to engage socially.

Yes, of course. Our guides make sure that all rides are equally accessible for snowboarders. At our touring destination, Lake Baikal (Siberia), you have to use a splitboard to climb the mountains.

There will also be a security briefing everymorning, where we review weather and snow conditions or any circumstances that require extra attention.

Whereever airbags are required, Eastern Snow provides these as part of the package.
