Snow slab avalanche on the Zendeslerkofel

07.02.2010
"On 7.2.10, I triggered a dry snow slab avalanche on the Zendeslerkofel:
Slope: North; entrance approx. 35-40°
The crack height was from approx. 20 to approx. 80 cm, I immediately triggered the airbag; when the avalanche stopped (after approx. 100 m) I only had to lift my head and shake off the snow - I didn't even have to be dug out - thanks to ABS®.
