There was a fairly large avalanche on (or just below) the north face of rendl 2 days ago. My friend, who lives there, watched the whole thing from his balcony in the village above the funky chicken. It is the same place where 2 scandinavian kids were killed a few weeks ago. The conditions in st anton are very unstable with no real bonding between the snow. There is no real solid baser and the warm weather has obviously been a nightmare. if you are heading out to St Anton - be careful - it may be best to save those off piste runs for next year.
