Snow effects

Results:

    Systematic simulation performed

    Parameter combinations for ground and snow yield drastic reduction
    of glide path angle for increasing snow depth -- see graph as an example
    Former statements of generally increasing glide path angle is not true

    Wet snow yields increasing glide path angle

    Dry snow may be surprisingly dangerous for thicker snow layers (e.g. > 30cm)

    Safety critical issue
