Disastrous avalanches occur when large chunks of snow break loose from a mountainside. As it speeds downward, the mass of snow shatters like broken glass. These hazards can travel as fast
as cars on a freeway, up to one hundred miles per hour. Avalanches come in many shapes and sizes. They are most common during the winter, but they do occur year-round. The highest risk period is
during and immediately after a snowstorm. If caught in an avalanche, try to get off the slab. Skiers and snowboarders can head at a 45-degree angle downhill to gather speed and veer left or right out
of the slide path. Snowmobilers can use the throttle to get away from danger. No escape? Reach for a tree. No tree? Swim hard. Because the human body is denser than avalanche debris, it sinks
quickly. As the slide slows, clear air space to breathe. Then punch a hand skyward. Once the avalanche stops, it settles like concrete, making body movement nearly impossible. Wait—and hope—for a
rescue.
