Abstract: To ensure the safety of train operations for full depth avalanche, it is important to estimate the stability of the slope snow. And then, it is necessary to evaluate the dynamic balance between the driving force of snowpack and the strength of bottom of snowpack. These are known that it is concerned with snow properties. Therefore, in this study, we have developed a model that can estimate density and snow depth using only AMeDAS weather data. Compared with calculated values by this model and observed values, it was found that good agreement of snow depth and density of the bottom of snowpack.
