POWDER DEPARTMENT STUBAIER GLETSCHERPhoto: Powder Department Stubaier Gletscher, Powder Department Stubaier Gletscher
THE line that catches the eye of every freerider first thing in the morning on the way up the mountain. A long run that demands a certain level of fitness and skiing technique – not to be underestimated in terms of avalanche risk!
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Safety information
WARNING
When skiing the Powder Department Runs, you leave the secured ski area! The runs are NOT groomed, NOT secured against avalanches (and other alpine hazards), and are NOT monitored. The Powder Department Runs, like the free ski area, are neither closed nor declared "open".
You act solely on your own responsibility and move outside the liability of the cable car company, which only provides you with the open, groomed slopes and ski routes for descent and disclaims any liability.
MOST IMPORTANT RULES
++ New snow or rain always leads to an increased avalanche risk.
++ The first nice day after snowfall is particularly accident-prone!
++ Fresh drifting snow accumulations are often easy to trigger.
++ Rapid, marked warming and/or strong sunshine increase the avalanche risk.
++ Poor visibility (fog) complicates not only orientation but also the assessment of avalanche danger.
Tips and suggestions
Roadbook
Directly next to the Dresdner Hut, above the “Dresden” board, you cross quite flat to the large, distinctive terrain edge (usually a game trail – possibly a piece of the signpost still protrudes from the snow). From here straight or rather slightly left down into the large hollow and the clear line further down to the valley station. Under very safe conditions, you can also traverse the slopes; in poor visibility and difficult conditions, it is better to ski through the valley bottom (Caution: do not ski too far down because of the stream).
DANGERS
As long as you stay always on the left side of the slope, falling is no problem. In the middle section, you should not ski too close to the stream, as this is where the Fernaus canyon begins. The slopes are avalanche-prone and require avalanche equipment as well as knowledge of its use (see SAFETY FIRST ). From the flanks of the Egesen ridge, unexpected slides can repeatedly come down from above, especially with warming during the day – check the avalanche report!!

The basic equipment that every freerider must carry includes: avalanche transceiver (LVS), shovel, probe, and mobile phone for emergency calls. Additional emergency systems such as avalanche airbags are recommended.
In addition to emergency equipment, a helmet is standard gear – further protective equipment is recommended. Intersport Stubaier Gletscher offers a wide selection of helmets, protectors, and emergency equipment in their shop and rental service.
