Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An avalanche is a rapid flow of snow down a slope. It usually results from a starting zone of mechanical failure in the snowpack - slab avalanche - when the forces on the snow exceed its strength but sometimes only occur with gradual widening of the failure - loose snow avalanche. After they have been triggered, avalanches generally accelerate rapidly and grow in mass and volume as they pull more snow on their way. When the avalanche moves fast enough, some of the snow sometimes mix with the air and form what is known as a powder snow avalanche...
