neve fresca
Explanation:
This is one of those slang terms that are quite hard to translate directly, for it involves skiing jargon (and since Lusophone countries are not big on skiing, this makes it a bit hard).

'Blower pow' is literally two things:

'pow' for powder (freshly fallen snow)

'blower' for soft snow that blows over your shoulder as you ski due to the low-moisture quality of the snow.

So, if you wish to translate it to Portuguese, search for Brazilian/Portuguese skiers on youtube and blogs, and see what terms they use—I'm almost sure they borrowed the terms 'blower' and 'pow' into their lusophone skiing habits, but 'neve fresca' is the only thing I can think of.

On a side note, if you are translating something technical for machinery, it could also mean (leaf)blower power (Watts)

neve fina e seca / neve em pó


Explanation:
Creio que seja uma abreviação para "blower powder", um tipo de neve bem fina e seca, que forma uma nuvem de "pó" quando passa um esquiador.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Dude, this blower pow is great to ride on!"
  • The dry snow accumulated well overnight, and now the skiiers are enjoying blower pow.
