Franz, many thanks, this is really useful!
Great skiing with you - and I still love the pic of me bursting through the trees which is on your site.

Very useful, franztrimmel- I shall look at this with a map later . It is good to have a St Anton guide posting on Snowheads 
Horizon, is this the other guide you and Costin recommended to me (along with Pio Jutz)? I can't seem to find the email.

Hi, franztrimmel, that is fascinating reading.
Does that cover all avalanche incidents in Arlberg last year?
And do you know what avalanche risk was that day?
I would be very interested in your personal opinion, in how many of these incidents do you think that the average mountain guide would have recognized the risk and not chosen that route, and in how many would it have been very difficult to recognize the danger at the time?

franztrimmel, thanks it is very helpful
I depend on people like you to take me away from crushing stresses of work and life at home to a place of exhiiiration and joy that makes it all worthwhile, but yet to send me home safely to wife and kids. I hope to read many more of your posts on this forum and be guided by you sometime soon

I spent a bit of time going over all of these accident reports. You really do need to know the local conditions and the terrain when picking lines  The Hexenboden one is the type of thing that we have all probably done at some point, perhaps many times. Small terrain traps are something I concentrate a lot more on these days.

I think the key with that one, tho, is the poor visibility. If you can't see 10m away, then it's not the right time to be going the other side of the piste-markers.
