Of course I know! Look at right side of the picture above! Track continuation starts with a V, bottom to the right side. This can be only achieved by a swallow-tail!
Snow below was compressed by it self (cumulative snowfall was about 2.5-3 m @ 1600 m), equalized by wind and coverd by additional 40-50 cm
It was at 1200 over see level. 120 cm of snow. Not any stone all 3½ days. Only two graze on my face from some contact with branches from high trees, nothing else (You know, disadvantage at to much snow is, that branches in forest are very much closer to the rider, as usually). Snow-high 120 cm was mesured at a full-depth wet snowslides down to the grass, at upper and lower edge.
Well, at Friday, in an other resort I was sinking in snow a view time down to my shoulders, with no more resistance under my feet, when I was hicking up some meters for best run (@ 2000 meter over seelevel). That wasn't so funny, and I had need my swallow as anchor to help myself!
