Chile Earthquake Relief



Following our initial donation after the earthquake, PowderQuest (personally affected by the disaster) and non-profit Save The Waves Coalition have teamed up to get additional direct relief to the Chileans on the earthquake and tsunami ridden Pacific coast.

PowderQuest will donate $100 for each Chile ski tour sold between March 25-September 15, 2010 to the grassroots efforts of Save The Waves Coalition: Chile Earthquake and Tsunami Aid.

How PowderQuest Was Affected

Until Feb. 27 the parents of PowderQuest founder, David Owen's Chilean wife Carolina lived in Pelluhue, on the coast just north of the epicenter. They escaped injury in the earthquake and their house was spared by the tsunami by just meters. While the shell of their house still stands, everything inside it is damaged. The town is in ruins and many of their friends are homeless.
Why Save The Waves Coalition?


Save The Waves Chile earthquake relief efforts are focused toward Chile's hardest hit area, the communities of the Pacific Coast. Our early March donation went straight to the earthquakes epicenter with no bureaucratic delays, helping to distribute fresh water, water filters, sleeping bags and tents to those in need.

More help is needed and Save The Waves has a team on the ground right now aiding in the rebuilding effort. Our newly pledged donations will go toward this rebuilding and you can be a great part of it!

While most of Chile had minimal to no earthquake damage, it is a different story in the Maule and Bio-Bio Regions, especially the coast.
