Dare a new adventure

Women can: cut a fine figure in open terrain too. All established female skiers who have already had a taste of deep snow, but especially those who want to venture beyond the edge of the piste for the first time, can prove this again in January 2025 at the Powder Department Ladies Days on the Stubai Glacier. Professional guiding from state-certified mountain and ski guides, top freeride skis from Faction and, of course, the obligatory emergency equipment from Ortovox are packed into a weekend full of skiing fun, varied off-piste runs and new acquaintances for the 10th time from 24 to 26 January 2025. The new Explorer Hotel in Neustift will serve as the base for the Powder Department Ladies Days 2025, from where participants will set off on a two-day freeride adventure in Austria's largest glacier ski area. 

 

Technical requirements:

  • Very good skiing skills on black slopes, freeride skills not essential. (In case of insufficient skiing skills, the organizers reserve the right to exclude participants or to ski only on the slopes for safety reasons).
  • The groups will be divided into freeride beginners, easy and well advanced freeriders.

  • helmet and goggles
  • skis, ski boots, ski poles (freeride skis can be rented at Sport Okay at Eisgrat for a fee. Faction is also on site with freeride skis for free testing. However, the ski test does not guarantee that a suitable ski will be available for all participants for the whole weekend!)
