Such a great guide service. We originally signed up for 2 days but ended up extending to a third day because we enjoyed it so much. The guides found all the best snow at a challenging time of year and were great at guiding those in our group of friends who had less experience in deep powder. Would absolutely use again next time I’m in St Anton which is hopefully soon! - 2024-04-12

We spend a week in Austria and booked 2 days with Piste to Powder. We had such a good experience in the first 2 days, we booked a third. If you want to explore the mountain and ski off piste, this is the way to go. We had an incredible experience. We spent three days with Flo which was amazing, but others in our group had different guides and all had an amazing experience. It made us all want to make it a yearly trip and we will definitely be booking again with piste to powder when we return to the region. - 2024-04-12

Florian is a legend!! One of the best vacations I’ve ever had! Piste to Powder is the only way you should ski the Alps :) An incredible blend of knowledge, fantastic skiing, perfect execution, & great energy! Definitely recommend - they gave us an unforgettable trip! - 2024-04-12

5 stars for Piste to Powder. The whole experience was top-shelf. Florian was as good a guide as my family has ever had. And Zoe worked behind the scenes to accommodate changes, additions and our every whim. They made a great team and were a huge part of our family’s first experience to the St Anton/Lech area. Can’t recommend them more. - 2024-04-12

Another great year We have been skiing with piste to powder for a couple of years now, and at the end of every trip we say it would be impossible to have a better one. Yet, they keep getting better.
We skied slopes we hadn't done before and eventhough it was busy and we thought it would be impossible to find good untracked snow, the guides were always able to find untouched galleys with perfect snow conditions. It is the perfect way to make the most out of a good skiing holiday and we will definitely do it again next season. - 2019-03-24

Awesome experience I figured that if I was going to travel all the way from California to St Anton to ski, I wanted to get the most out of the experience. After spending my first day on the piste with long lines, crowded slopes and spending far too much time looking at the map, I was anxious to get off-piste and away from the crowds. I decided to join an open group level 2 with Piste to Powder and was rewarded with incredible scenery, endless fresh tracks on open bowls and a great guide (Bernie) who knew the mountain well and took us to the best spots that I certainly would never have found or ventured to on my own. I'll admit that a couple of the drop ins and traverses made me go weak at the knees at first glance, but Bernie instilled confidence and was very patient. I enjoyed the small group experience and comradery of like minded skiiers. We were all exhausted at the end of the day but were on a high from the experience. I highly recommend this organization and would go with them again in a heartbeat if I'm ever back in the area. - 2017-02-23

BEST decision was to be Guided for a week I signed up for the Level 3 Open Group for the Monday. Snow still wasn't deep but the guide found us fun off-piste skiing with some fresh powder. It was so much fun and we went to places I could never find on my own. So I signed up for the whole week and it was the best decision I could have made! Tomas took us over the mountains, down the valleys and through the trees in search for untouched powder and we found loads of it. He was extremely professional and I felt safe at all times with him. Being guided the whole week made all the other expenses of the trip so much more worthwhile. - 2017-01-21

Piste to Powder is a world class off piste guide company. Our instructor Emi, was extremely knowledgeable of the terrain/safety and found us perfect powder on every run. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make the most out a snowboard trip to ski Arlberg! - 2024-02-12

Amazing day in Arlberg Incredible experience with Piste to Powder right from the first phone call. Zoe was encouraging and spoke English well. She followed up with me and set me up with my guide Stefan. Stefan was awesome. He crafted our tour to my abilities and was knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. It felt like spending the day ski touring with a friend. We climbed and skied a completely untouched route that was spectacular. Thank you again! - 2024-04-01

My experience with Emi was like no other. It was out of this world. His knowledge of the mountain terrain, incoming and passing weather conditions to allow us to find the best spots was amazing. Personality wise, he was so great, it was like riding back home with one of my ‘boys’. After each section of riding it, he was just as excited and pumped as I was, always giving me ‘props’ and telling me how amazing that was. Emi was great with my go pro always making sure it was filming and in the right position for me to capture this day. His positivity and attitude puts him at the top of my experiences. I can’t thank him and your company enough for this day and one I will happily share with everyone. I say, when I’m back, I will definitely be reaching out. Thank you so much for ‘filling my bucket’ - 2023-06-12

Go with the flow I have been to Sankt Anton number of times to chase some off-piste lines and never hired a guide until now. We had two epic days but yet very different. One day of touring and even though the mountains were lacking snow our guide managed to find some fresh untouched lines. The second day was after it had snowed quite bit and we managed to ski untouched powder the whole day without doing any touring. I will definitely hire I guide again the next time I will be in Sankt Anton. Thanks for two epic days and great companion - 2022-01-24

Sehr abwechslungsreiche Skitour. Unser Guide Tom hat sich super ausgekannt und hat unsere Tour so gelegt, dass wir trotz allgemeinem Schneemangel noch gute Bedingungen vorgefunden haben. Es hat sehr viel Spass gemacht, und nebenbei haben wir noch einiges über Technik wie korrekte Haltung, Spitzkehren und sicheres Abfahren gelernt. Sehr gerne wieder! - 2023-06-12

Fabulous Private Off-Piste Guiding Experience Our guide, Florian, was outstanding. Without his expert knowledge of the vast terrain and his keeping tabs on the fast-changing weather and conditions, we wouldn't have found great snow.

In the planning phase, they were super responsive and very easy to work with.

Huge kudos to Florian and the entire Piste to Powder team! - 2024-02-27

Best way to ski St Anton’s secret spots with professional guides! I have been skiing with Piste to Powder multiple times. It is a great way to access the mountain with very professional and qualified guides at an affordable price. I skied places in St Anton that wouldn’t be possible without them - a true adventure! Safety was at the forefront at all times. Also, social, fun and easy to book the small groups that are dedicated to your ability. Recommended! - 2024-03-01

Amazing Experience Absolutely outstanding, professional and knowledgeable guides. They took us to some amazing places we never would have found on our own and made us feel safe the whole time. While the conditions looked dodgy at first, we wound up finding some great little nooks. The last day where we spent most of our time on Randl, was one of the best ski days I have ever had in my life - 2024-02-22

Florian was our guide for a week as we skied between Lech and St. Anton. He was incredible! Not only was he professional and clearly extremely experienced, his personality was also well matched for our family. He did a great job at accommodating the different skill levels within our group and was always encouraging. Would 10/10 recommend using this business. There’s no other safe way to fully experience all the skiing the Alps has to offer without a guide, and Piste to Powder is an incredible choice! - 2024-04-12

Best guide in St Anton Amazing guide service. Was so nice to get off the crowded and icy pistes, and our guide Flo was constantly checking the weather and guiding us to the best snow among the many back country options in St Anton. He expertly adapted to what we wanted which was a combo of hiking/skinning paired with great lunch spots :) He knew the mountain like the back of his hand pointing out rocks from hundreds of meters away. Very impressed with the service and would absolutely use again next time I’m in the area. - 2024-03-15

Florian and Christoff turned a good ski vacation into a great one! For North American skiers (where off piste is still in bounds), these guys are essential to get to experience the whole resort. They not only know how to find the best snow but also are experts at managing the crowds on the hill. - 2024-03-12

Wir haben zwei Tage „private Guiding“ bei Flo und einen Tag „offene Gruppe“ bei Rupi gebucht. Kurz gesagt, es waren die besten Skitage in 44 Jahren für mich. Mit Flo haben wir zwischendurch immer mal wieder für 15-30 Minuten die Felle benutzt und sind dadurch in Gebiete mit sehr langen unberührten Powderruns gekommen. Rupi hat aus einem wetterbedingt schlechten Tag das beste herausgeholt. Obwohl die Schnee-Bedingungen, auf Südhängen durch den sonnigen Tag vorher und auf der Nordseite durch den Wind in der Nacht, sehr schlecht waren, hat er immer noch Hänge mit gutem Schnee gefunden. Insgesamt ist die Ortskenntnisse der Guides hervorzuheben. Durch ihre jahrelange Erfahrung wissen Sie wetterbedingt genau wo noch ein klasse Run zu finden ist und passen ihre Pläne immer wieder an. Das war definitiv nicht unsere letzte Buchung bei euch. - 2024-03-12

Guides to ensure the perfect adventure Piste to Powder handled all the details and ensured an amazing adventure week with just the right pace and fabulous lunch spots. Our guide Florian was a pleasure to be with and was flexible, moving things around in the week to ensure the right activities with the right weather. We would follow him anywhere- and we did. Great week. Thanks to Zoe for handling so many behind the scenes details with our dinner reservations and paragliding and even grabbing us something back in St Anton. We would most definitely utilize Piste to Powder again. - 2024-03-15
