Freeride in Tyrol
Freeride guiding & snowboard freeride coaching in Tyrol
Untracked snow, varied terrain and finding the right line: freeriding is about more than the descent. With SNOWBORN you get a private freeride guide in Austria. I plan our days around snowpack, avalanche conditions, weather and your riding level.
Besides guided freeride days I offer focused snowboard freeride coaching: powder technique, line choice, reading terrain, control and changing snow. For technique on the piste there is snowboard coaching, for tours with a climb splitboard guiding.
My areas include the Kitzbühel Alps, the Alpbachtal, the Zillertal and the Tux Alps. Off-piste snowboarding in Tyrol with a state-certified snowboard guide.

How I work
Conditions set the day
I follow how the snowpack and weather develop over the whole season, not just the morning bulletin, and decide from that where we ride and where we don't.
In coaching I work on the details that make riding off-piste easier: where your weight sits, when the edge grips and how you read the next twenty metres instead of the next two.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01What is the difference between freeride guiding and freeride coaching?

02What does a private freeride guide in Tyrol cost?
A private freeride guiding day costs €450. Each additional person costs +€30.
03What does freeride coaching cost?
Private coaching costs €250 for 2 hours, €330 for 3 hours and €400 for a full day. Each additional person +€30, up to 4 people.
04Are lift tickets included?
No. Lift tickets and rental gear are not included.
05Who is freeriding with you for?
For snowboarders who ride confidently on the piste and want to get better off-piste, learn more about powder and safety, or simply enjoy great days away from the piste.
06How many people can come?
Guiding: maximum 6 people per guide. Coaching: up to 4 people.
07What avalanche gear do I need for freeriding?
Everyone carries a transceiver, shovel and probe, in a freeride vest with back protector or in a backpack. If you are missing something, rent it from me: transceiver €10 per day, backpack with shovel and probe €10 per day.
08Where do we ride?
All of Tyrol: the Kitzbühel Alps around Kitzbühel and my home mountain, the Hohe Salve above Söll, the Alpbachtal, the Zillertal with the Tux Alps, the Rofan, the Karwendel and Kühtai. Other areas on request.
09What freeride options are there in the Kitzbühel Alps?
Around Kitzbühel and my home mountains Hohe Salve and Söll there is varied freeride terrain, from open slopes to tree runs. Which slopes suit a given day I decide by snowpack, avalanche conditions and weather.
10What happens with high avalanche danger or little snow?
Then the plan changes: different terrain, a different day, or a day focused on technique and safety. Safety always comes first.
11How do I book, and when is my date confirmed?
Book through the form on snowborn.at. Your date is reserved once the 30% deposit has arrived and the signed participation declaration is back. For short-notice bookings, 50% is due immediately.
12What are the cancellation terms?
If you cancel at least 7 days before, you get the deposit back. If you cancel later, the deposit is kept as compensation. If I have to cancel for safety reasons, we reschedule or you get everything back except the deposit.
13What qualifications do you have?
I am a state-certified snowboard guide (Staatlich geprüfter Snowboardführer) and state-certified snowboard instructor (Diplomsnowboardlehrer). At the Tiroler Skilehrerverband I am an instructor trainer and examiner. I have been snowboarding for 30 years, teaching for 20 and guiding self-employed for 12.
14Are you insured?
Yes. SNOWBORN has legal expenses insurance and professional liability insurance. Anyone riding off-piste should have their own accident insurance that also covers rescue costs.
